How I love to scrapbook, how much I do adore!
So much so that about a year ago,
I volunteered my time and service, and so...
I'd cut up some paper, I'd stick on some photos
Making scrapbook pages, how great! until a small woe...
Engaged I did get to a handsome young lad
Wedding planning evolved and man, was it mad!
Time seemed not enough, and little did it disappear
Finish I could not, deadline would I not meet - oh, the fear!
Marry we did, for all eternity
Scrapbook pages still pending...how could it be?!
Finish I did... but quite a time late
Here they all are, tell me they're great!
Though my service project for a CHLA doctor did eventually get completed, there were still some pages that were kinda silly looking and in my scrapbooking opinion, were just literally glued together with some simple stickers atop. I was reminded of something a partner once said to us at a team meeting that I think should be applied to life.
"Under promise and over deliver."
Makes sense right? This way, you're never disappointing yourself (which comes often from mismanaged or unrealistic expectations) but also not falling prey to lazy ways and under achieving. Andy always reminds me that situations don't create people, decisions do. How lucky I am to be reminded of that daily from a loving husband that I get to be with for all eternity! Make the decision today to under promise and over deliver (but don't under promise so much that you automatically over deliver.. cuz that would just be lame).
