Lack (Five Minute Friday)

Sharing is caring!

I have struggled for years with lack. I lack the trim and toned body I’d like. I lack the will power to stick to lifestyle changes needed to get said body. I lack the self-esteem and confidence I have envied in others. I lack the ability to spell that I had back in grade school. I lack patience sometimes. I lack the funds needed to retire anytime soon. I lack adequate sleep most days and I lack a good reason for staying up late most nights. I often lack inspiration when I sit down to write. I lack energy and enthusiasm for serious exercise.

Ok, enough negativity already. Let’s talk about what I don’t lack. I never lack the desire for love and friendship. I never lack an opinion although sometimes I wisely keep it to myself. I don’t lack the constant love of reading and books, or learning in general. I don’t lack curiosity, though again, I don’t always ask the questions I’d like to know the answers to. Most of all, I never lack faith. That is what gets me through all the other times when I am lacking in one thing or another.

What do you lack? How do you deal with that lack in your life? Feel free to let us know in the comments below.
