a moment into travis life an atmosphere you think twice about entering again

Looking to figure out the constants vs variables in my life.

I struggle with trying to find a perfect fit mentally of my life for I tend to be slightly OCD when it comes to knowing how everything works and ticks. I have a tremendous need to make sure I have control and understanding of the path ahead. 

The hard part is that life comes with what I call "variable's and constants". Some things are constants, the anchors that everything else in life must orbit and surround. Not just "basics" either, I'm talking about purpose and calling. Vision and my reasons for living.

Other things are variables, things that can be moved around the constants to make the equation come together and make sense. The problem comes when I turn many of the variables into constants, when I take things that dont matter in the large scheme and treat them as the center of my life. Some of these things being jobs, comforts, friends, lifestyles, etc. All good things but should be worthy of sacrifice in sight of a bigger goal, but usually pulled close to my heart as I allow them to distract and confuse. Other times the equation is broken by turning some of the constants into variables, when I begin to ignore the callings and overall dreams for an easier path. When I loose sight of the end, become apathetic in my pursuit, and comprimise my larger greater dream for something thats passes as only "Good" instead of "Great".

I want the best result...I dont want to grow lazy or confused in the process of life...I want to give it all to gain the best, even if that means less comfort now for a greater reward. GOD never let me confuse the equation. Help me find whats inmovable and what gifts to let go of.

Travis!! . . . be sure to leave room for God's SURPRISES!!! Remember, God is not limited by our variables and constants. He can do the unexpected and it's awesome!

I understand what you are saying above and I can relate to it as I am sort of the same way. It's just that I wanted to throw something else in there with your variables and constants. I hope you liked it!

Thanks for sharing.

People more often practice what they believe (in reality) and not what they say. To bring the two together is to be true to what you believe and what you say and do.

When a person accomplishes this their sight becomes as it were clear.
But before that they do not really know what they believe or even do, and therefore they cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood/ good and bad.....

To be true to yourself is the first step in un-confusing your equation!

Interesting application of logic to the process of thinking. I like to do this sometimes too :P
I need to ask God to make me behave according to the best setup of variables and constants in my life too
