All of these areas need improvement in my life. My faith tends to be put on the back-burner when I have school and friends that keep me busy. However, I need to realize that there will always be other things, but that it is important to attend weekly mass and pray and read the Bible daily. These are things that I am going to work on improving. Also, the work that I do in my classes is never 100%. I feel as if I give 90% and just hope that the teacher may not notice that I'm not putting forth my full effort. I would really like to change this and do my best on everything that I turn in and try to be an active participant. The third area in my life that needs discipline is my exercising and eating habits. I feel as if most people say they have these problems, but I really don't like the way that I have become. I enjoy working out, my biggest problem is finding time to fit in in my busy schedule. I'm going to make a working out schedule and try and stick to it as much as my real schedule will allow me to. And as far as eating right, I just need to make a conscience decision of what is good to put into my body and what is not good and also limit my portions and work on not eating when I am not hungry. I would say that I lack self-discipline in my relationships with other people. I tend to get over-involved when it comes to relationships and try to improve others lives and take a load off of them. I know that to some this sounds like it'd be a good thing, but when it starts interfering with my own life and personal time is when I notice that I really need to cut back. I tend to want to be involved and "in-the-know" of every aspect of every person I've met's lives and I just need to learn when to stand back and let them come to me rather than jumping head first into everything. And finally, I think because of the self-discipline I lack in the other areas of my life, it has caused me to lack self-discipline when it comes to time management. There are a million other things I would rather do than write my paper for my Friday class, but I know if I would just do it and get it over with than I would be a lot less stressed so I need to work on managing my time better.
My roommate, Laura Slagle, has the most self-discipline of anyone I know. She is always on top of her school work and usually has papers and homework done days in advance. She knows what's coming up and has planned her schedule accordingly. I would like to be more like her in that aspect.
I am accountable for everything I do. Whether it be in my social life, school work, family or with God, I am accountable for my actions. I am accountable to anyone who I told they could count on me. I am accountable to God and my family first and foremost and my friends and even acquaintances and teachers. I am accountable.
