Focus on what matters

Going through some serious family situations simultaneously right now, and usually during these situations I would make time to relapse. But instead? I’m making time to connect with the people who are and have been the most important people in my life. I’m showing up for them, and I’m going to continue to choose to show up for them instead of falling into sinful habits. When you’re living your life on-purpose, suddenly everything else that doesn’t connect to that purpose feels like a distraction. I need to get a lot of (professional / career) work done this week, and it’s connected to my purpose of helping them too. When you’re living on-purpose, suddenly anything that is sinful or falls short of your ethical framework / moral compass, doesn’t cut it.
