One of the humbling aspects of my life is the adjustments I make in order to meet an objective. When we traveled to Arizona for a long weekend and returned, I realized I had a time management problem. With work, remodeling the house, and family, I did not seem to have time to study, research and do the work for orphans. So I did something radical that I am not aware of anyone else doing. Around 1990-1991 I had an issue with television. I was so hooked on CNN and other programs, that I realized I did not have time for the family. One day I took the television out back and broke it with a hammer. My family was so upset that they did not speak to me for three days. But I had time and we did many activities together. I have no regrets and am glad I did it. When I tell the story, many ask me why I did not sell it, or donate it, or give it away. I cannot say, I just knew I needed to get rid of it. Prolonging could have caused me to waffle and extend the time frame for what needed to be done for weeks, months, years or perhaps I would rationalize and not do it. Next post I will share how I went through this process again after prolonging what I needed to do for a long time.
