The new year is well underway and some folks have already given up on their resolutions. Ten days in and our resolve has faltered. The lofty goal that we aspired to has now been relegated to the "it's too hard" pile. I know, I know because I've been there. Made myself a promise and promptly broke it in favor of my personal comfort. Wanted a different result with the same "comfortable" actions taken previously. INSANITY!!!!
I believe part of the problem is that we don't prepare for the difficulties. Everyone sets their eyes on the glory of the accomplishments without really honing in on the work required. . Most of the big stuff is just a brief flash in the pan. The big radio hit lasts for a moment; but the everyday act of writing and perfecting your skill is what leads to the success. You can't go and win Olympic goal without endless hours of practice, nutrition,and mental and physical conditioning. You get the idea!
So what are you doing? Not dreaming or thinking about; but doing? I don't want to reach the end of 2014 and have nothing to show for it so I've got to work every month, every week, every day. Pick a goal and make an action plan that requires commitment and allows a little grace for your human capacity to falter and fail. But should you fall don't stay there. Get up and go chase after what you want. Don't let laziness,fear, pride, lack of knowledge/skills or finances stand in your way. You are a wonderfully created being with gifts waiting to be revealed from you. WHAT R U WAITING 4?
