Yesterday was day one and my biggest goal was to make it through to day two. I made it! I was online for 2 hours and 17 minutes give or take a small amount, but even still it was almost a failure. My joy from day one is short lived though. I find that beating something like this is a lot like running a marathon. Day one is the first mile, but there's 25 to go. Failing after the first mile is pretty pathetic and yesterday was pathetic.
That's right, I failed on day two. I was under my three hour limit, but I made three mistakes. One, I didn't spend any time in prayer or reading my Bible. Two, I wasn't careful about what music I was listening to. Three, I entertained thoughts about compromising and bending the rules. Now I know where my weaknesses lie. The first two are easy to fix; however, I've been entertaining these thoughts for years and years. To break a mental pattern like that is not an easy thing to do. I'm not sure how I'm going to beat that mental pattern, but in the words of Napoleon Hill, "Whatever the mind can concieve and believe, it will achieve." I will find away.
But right now, I'm tired. I'll blog about my second day one later. Good night (or morning for the rest of the world).
