I "Almost"...

Who out there has seen the commercials that talk about “almost giving” or donating for a charity? And in the commercial, they say that “almost giving” is the same as not giving at all. When you think about it, that’s true. Then I was thinking about that word, “almost”. And I feel that I have used that word a lot in my life. Maybe I never said the word to someone else, but I think I may have told myself it time and time again. Here are a couple of “almost”s I think I may have told myself.
I almost got a membership to the gym so I could start working out.
I almost saved enough money to put a down payment on a truck.
I almost didn’t do that line of speed, that in the end pit me back in prison.
I’m sure I could go on and on with the almost that I should have done or not done in my life that would have left me a lot better off. Now I’m trying to either “do it” (whatever “it” may be) or don’t do it. One thing I know for sure is something that is positive for my life, or my family, friends, and loved ones, I’m not going to “almost” do it.
