I have constantly prayed to God that he provide me with the will to be diligent-Not that I ever thought that I was particularly lazy, only that I should Show more initiative about doing what (need to do.  For example, 1 use to come home after a long day at work tired, exhausted, so tired and exhausted that I just wanted to take off my work clothes and sit For a while.  Ultimately, my suit, shirt, and socks would end Up on the floor or on top of a ever growing pile of other clothing,  The right thing to have done would have been to put the dirty clothes in the dirty clothes hamper and to hang up my suit on a hanger in the closet,  And the truth is it is easier to take all my work clothes off and leave them on the Floor.  But diligence my friend required that l hang up my suit and put the clothes in the dirty clothes hamper.

This seems to be true both about little things like clothes, dishes, trash, as well as the big things.  Ultimately, diligence is personality trait, acharateristic which is about integrity and getting things done.  I yang up my suits now when I get home from Work, in the closet and place my dirty laundry in the , dirty laundry hamper. l don't feel any better in doing it.  But I feel like I am a more effective person.  And really, when it comes down to it, as Benjamin Franklin said,"A stitch in time Saves nine,"
