It is 2 in the afternoon. Larry is in living room watching TV. Alabama is 28 to 0 in the bowl game.
Time to get started mapping 2011. First I am going to post some nugets of wisdom from my note
book from over the years.
I am blessed with favor and it surrounds me as a shield. Ps 5:12
Today I will take action.
Action is like an avalanche. It can start small - really small - and grow into a rushing wave of uncontrollable energy.
I have big ideas, lots of them, but sometimes I am overwhelmed or fearful or just distracted and I never act on
my desires. So I get fustrated.
Don't look at happiness as something that will come
when you're done with this goal...Happiness is
possible right now. Always remember that. When
you push it back until later, it'll never come. When
you learn to be happy now, it'll always be here.
.....Leo Baubata
When I was in college creating action came naturally to me. I just made stuff happen.
But I had no idea what I was doing.... I just did it!
After school, I stuck myself in a dead end job and lost the natural momentum of my action.
Started my own business and I learned how to reclaim my momentum and turn
ideas into action. Now it is a process that I use and refine - you can use it to!
The first step in creating your action avalanche is to
accomplish one thing.
If my goal is to write something, I create an outline. If I want to clean my house
I start with vaccuming the living room. If I want to sell something, I create a lanch calendar.
If I want to crochet a scarf, I create a chain. But every goal or idea is just a small assortment
of steps that need to be accomplished.
How do you eat an elephent? one bite at a time.
Focus on that bite, chew it First step accomplished
Now I soak in that sense of accomplishment........kind of addicting isn't it?
Want some more? Need it? Go ahead,
complete another task. But never forget that divine feeling
of accomplishment. That's the key I use to move forward.
So tell me sister, what is that one thing you're going to accomplish TODAY!
Hit reply and tell me what it is.
