The goal for this week has to do with industry.
In today's world, this word is recognized more often by its use as a noun, rather than a verb.
I live in a state where "industry" was important to its founders; in fact, the symbol found on Utah's flag is a beehive (bees are considered hard workers). I find it interesting that many of the people living here would probably NOT be considered very industrious - especially by pioneer standards.
There are many distractions in this day and age. While the advancements of technology have brought about much good, I believe they have also given our society too much opportunity to waste time. Television, internet, texting, gaming systems...the list could go on.
I'm as guilty as the next person when it comes to allowing these activities to sometimes take up too much of my time. It's easy to get online to catch up with friends...and suddenly, an hour's gone by.
My resolve for this week is to monitor HOW I am spending my time and strive to use it more productively. Am I staying completely away from the things I mentioned above? The answer is no. However, I plan to participate in these activities less frequently and spend more time on what's really important in my life.
As the quote of the week states: Life is like a coin - you can only spend it once.
Are you spending it wisely?
