A"Greater Yes" than a Jelly Donut

Sure!  I love slogans like "Just Do It!" "Make it Happen!"  "Just Say No"  "Suck it up Fat Boy" and "Pain is Just Weakness Leaving the Body!"  They just sound cool!  You picture mountain summits, gold medals, Green Berets and victory laps.  

Unfortunately for many of us, "just do it" tends to "work" for about an hour.... or on a good day, 3 hours.  Then comes our human reality... or more to be more specific: our "soft addictions."  This term, coined by Judith Wrightrefers to things that don't tend to kill us, at least not right away, but will progressively suck the life out of us or keep us from experiencing our best life. 

What are your "soft addictions?"   They may include things like overindulgence in:

  •  Television watching

  • Internet surfing

  • Sugar eating

  • Just plain over-eating

  • Porn viewing

  • Procrastinating

  • Acting grumpy

  • Coffee drinking

  • Complaining excessively

  • And oh so much more

Most of us know deep down inside these "soft addictions" don't bring out the best in us or build our marriages, career, self-esteem or spiritual lives.  They don't empower our dreams or make us "dreamy" in someone else's eyes.  Do we want to stop our soft addictions?  Yes.  Well ...maybe.  "OK, sure I don't want to one day look back on my life and say, Wow, got to watch some great re-runs on TV!"  "Got to pack an extra 50 pounds on my gut!" 

I think most of us would gladly stop our soft addictions.... IF ... we had a "Greater Yes."  We could even quit if we had a motivating picture standing in the way of that jelly donut.

What "Greater Yes" might just be what you need to defeat that nasty "soft addiction"  Might one of these?

  • An intimate marriage

  • Getting to live your own dreams

  • Being able to do the sports you love

  • Becoming an expert in your field

  • Fully honoring God with your life

  • Living your mission every day

  • Having a tight family

  • Being able to really like the man/woman in the mirror 

  • Being able to serve others who need what only you can give

  • Attaining excellence in your pursuits

Any of those?  Something else?  A GREAT "Yes"  makes the Jelly Donut look pretty un- great, junky even, doesn't it.   Put THAT "YES" in front of the donut. 

Enjoy the Day!
