"Step toward your mission, and the next step will become illuminated." Matthew Kelly
I'm quickly tempted to become victim of my own positive hopes and dreams for the new year. 2010 has much in store! I'm believing my mission will bring about much good this year for many.
YET - the blind side of dreaming big and envisioning a better tomorrow seems to include the seemingly overwhelming and mundane "sameness" of the now. Now isn't the then! I wake up and the weight's still there, the relationship's still in hard, the money's still tight, the dream's still a dream... yada yada yada. Is positive change a pipe dream?
Encouragingly, some old sayings come to mind.. (and maybe they've lasted because they're true!)
"How do you eat an elephant? Just one bite at a time."
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
You and I are not victims of the future's unrealized potential. We are not destined to stay stuck in status quo that isn't our complete self. We are not last year's missteps, failures and false hopes. We can do just the next right thing.
Turn the dream into reality? Make a list of what I can do today.
Get back in shape? Schedule my workout's this week.
Grow my relationship? Text them to let them know much we appreciate them.
Grow my sales? Make ten calls today.
I can do that. Just the next right thing from this moment forward... for today.. How about you?
