Do you hate doing dishes? If you're like me, they are the worst! We don't have a dishwasher and the dishes can really pile up sometimes.
My wife is constantly in a full out battle with these dishes everyday. I took the time today, to help her out. So how can the constant build up of a pile of dishes be avoided? The answer is consistency. By taking the small amount of time to wash the dish right after its used, can avoid a long tedious battle with the dishes. This same concept can be applied to our lives daily. Such as taking the small amount of time to do the daily necessities, we can avoid a build up of stress or negativity.
I know I can do better in this, and maybe we won't have pile of dishes anymore. Win the battle with those dishes! Never give up, never surrender!

This is the truest post I've ever read. In my apartment, we have three girls that are great about cleaning, and three that aren't. Somehow, we're able to keep a balance with the two forces fighting each other. However, if even one of the clean girls gets busy and can no longer put in normal effort into cleaning, the counters start piling with dishes and pans and glasses and mugs and food... the list goes on. It takes a while to recover from a hit like that.
ReplyDeleteIt really rang true to me that it's the little upkeep of daily actions that makes a difference. A quote comes to mind, "great habits are formed daily." If you want something extraordinary to happen in your life, start doing the small things, and it will build into something more.
Thanks for the post!
Great post. Its so true. You should come over to my apartment and give a little 30 seconds lecture to a few of my roommates. Cleaning one dish at a time is definitely easier than doing a week's worth of dishes. And I agree with your real life application. I try do do my homework that way. When I do it, life is good. When I let it all pile up, life kinda stinks for a while.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. It applies wonderfully to dishes, but also to so many things in life. If we are just consistent each day in doing the most important things we will have great results.
