I have read a number of self-help books. They all have a general theme: Be purposeful. Be intentional. Plan. Be proactive. Understand your commitments, and fulfill your commitments. Have discipline to say "no." Have discipline to do the things you say "yes" to.
This is another point that I was trying to get at with this post. Our actions have to match our intentions. There will be times when our actions and intentions get confounded. Times when people perceive our actions different from what our intentions were.
God's call is to keep pushing. Jesus told us to turn the other cheek and go the extra mile (Matthew 5:38-48). To keep pushing, we have to be purposeful and disciplined. We have to work to make our intentions and our actions mesh. We have to trust and be faithful, and let our intentions be His intentions and our actions be His actions.
