today is the doing day

Today is the day of doing.

Today. Today. Today. Today is the day of doing.

What am I doing?
  • donating books
  • donating close
  • giving sin smaller spaces

What do I mean?

Last night, I was having a chat with a newer friend of mine and he said something that inspired me to do brave things. What did he say?
ty: heheh your Character... I like it bro
It really was as simple as that. With that, I felt... armed to the the dangerous and impossible. Someone saw something in my character that was good. I liked that and I wanted to protect that statement.

Sometimes, all it takes is encouragement. In my case, when someone encourages me to do something good, I want to do things to protect the encouragement they gave me. I don't know if that makes sense to you.

It's like when your sibling says, "You're a good brother/sister" or when your parents say "You're a good son/daughter". It makes you want to do things so that they always see that in you no matter what.

I went and did some inventory and I cleaned up some things. Things that will make doing the wrong things harder to do and make doing the right things much easier. I was happy with that. I felt... well.... encouraged.

So thanks, Ty, and to all of you that have ever encouraged me to do the things I know to be true and good and noble. I thank all of you for that and I'll keep using that encouragement as power to do more good for myself and others.

In other news, I am putting rubber to road. Yesterday was a bad day for moving, but today is just fine. It's overcast, but not raining. Allow me to show you what we'll have here.

First, we have the books I need to donate:



... and the goodwill items...

There will be more of each of these in the future. I have some books I have decided to read, so as I read them and finish, I will be donating these books to the library as well. For now, this is a pretty big haul. I am excited about it; I'm getting things done and moving in a positive direction with my efforts. This is the beginning of many good things, so it's hard not to be excited (relatively).

I feel good. I'm going to take a shower and get started.

Whatever you are trying to do in order to improve, please remember: TODAY TODAY TODAY is the day of doing. TODAY.

  2. I really admire you, Marquis. You see an issue or problem in your life, and you're willing to do the hard thing to root that problem out. Very, very inspiring. And yes, it definitely shows a determination of character as well. :)
