\nOh, the ever so fine line of a baby monitor. You lay there looking at it almost like a best friend and enemy in one. You know it is a great thing, yet you want to smash it.<\/p>\n

Jolie and I have one for Damon and I loathe it. I know we need it and all, but I almost feel like I am in one of those old western’s simply waiting for a shootout at high noon. A couple nights ago, I was up staring at the monitor almost waiting for it to explode from green and peaceful to red and\u00a0devastating. I was\u00a0eye balling\u00a0it and it was staring right back at me. I was just waiting for those little green lights to accumulate to the lava of red.<\/p>\n

As I waited for the inevitable, I got to thinking and my mind started to move. I began to realize that the key to the power of the baby monitor is that fine line between green<\/span> and RED<\/b><\/span>. It is the line of “everything is ok” to “all hell is breaking loose.” It is the line between the baby is just moving around to the baby is in distress (Code Brown if you catch my drift). It is a very fine line, but when it is crossed, you are often in for a long haul of readjustment to fix the situation.
\n<\/span>
\nNow, I want you to take a second and think about life and how often we come across those tiny “fine lines” that have an effect on us. Those “fine lines” can have such a large impact on not only us, but those around us as well. Those “fine lines” can be a situation, a statement, a friend, a job, a grade, a paper, a number, a decision, a judgement or a significant other. The trick is to be able to see the “fine line”\u00a0well<\/i> ahead<\/i> of it actually being thrown in your face. Often, if you wait until the “fine line” is upon you, it is too late and the wheels of distress are already in motion.
\n<\/span>
\nHow often do you sit there and almost know something is eventually going to happen, yet still do nothing to halt the progress? Never? Not you? Really? You have never looked at an assignment and decided to procrastinate? You never looked at weights and decided to get to them later? You never looked at that ball and decided to work on your drills when you are less tired? You never looked at that person that needed to be told something and decided it is simply better if someone else told them?<\/span><\/p>\n

How many times, after the fact, have you thought…..
\nif I had only done<\/i> ________\u00a0<\/i>or said _______<\/i>
\nwhat I should have done was ______ or what I should have said was _______<\/i>
\nwhy didn’t I just __________<\/i><\/p>\n

Why don’t we just do it right the first time?<\/p>\n

Think about your life up until now and how many big decisions you have made or been a part of. Now, think about if you made those decisions before or after that “fine line” appeared. Now, take that decision\/instance, and imagine if you had done the exact<\/b> opposite. For instance, if you were slow to the draw and let your monitor get to\u00a0<\/span>RED<\/b>, how different would your situation be right now if you were on the ball and kept your monitor in the\u00a0<\/span>green<\/span>?!?!?! Take some time on this one, it might blow you away.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Each one of those instances has that “fine line” of\u00a0<\/span>watching and waiting<\/u>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span>doing and controlling<\/u>. To be successful in life, o<\/b><\/span>ne must be\u00a0<\/span>proactive<\/i><\/u>\u00a0in the\u00a0<\/span>green<\/span>, instead of being\u00a0<\/span>reactive<\/i><\/u>\u00a0to the\u00a0<\/span>RED. <\/span><\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Imagine the power you would have over your own life if you simply took control of it.\u00a0<\/span>Today, and from this day forth, why not simply attack life instead of waiting for it to attack you?<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n
