For Lent this year, I'm going to give up: Feeling bad about myself. I am going to accomplish this by committing myself to correcting the things that inspire my self-deprecating thoughts. But, before I can begin, I first need to ask myself one question:
What makes me feel bad about myself?...
- My embarrassingly chewed fingernails.
- My too-often too-long facial hair.
- My love handles I've developed over the last year.
- My untreated eczema.
- My morning breath from neglecting to uphold my ideal dental habits.
- My hurting nose from the way I shove tissue up there.
- My rough lower lip from biting it instead of my fingernails.
- My delay in investing my paycheck into a 401k plan, IRA, etc.
- And, lastly, my lack of a driver's license and the ability to drive.
I will eliminate these issues over the next forty days. Because I want to feel better about myself. I am tired of them tarnishing my self-image. I want to feel free.

Chris L: What will you tell Anthony?
Me: I will tell him, "Count me in if Chris is in... Then, act surprised for Chris when I don't show up."
