Salvation and status quo

In evaluating how I have done over the last month with some of my new perceptions, I would have to say that I scored really low. I started out strong, but some of my resolves have melted away or been reduced to meaninglessness. I have played the "tomorrow I'll be better." routine. And of course tomorrow never comes.

Many times if not every time, salvation is about maintaining perspective. I may see a different world, invoke a different way of seeing. I may make commitments to change some things about myself, but like a fully clothed drowning man, what covers me, what has fit me, what I cover myself with is killing me. Status quo like the snake in the garden hisses to me, "do you really need to shed it all. That's a really hard choice, don't be so hasty!" And with that, the will is paralyzed.

So when will I kick off the clothes that have become shrouds? When will I act on my salvation?

Tomorrow?
