Just Do It!

 
I believe that fear is the single biggest factor that holds me, and all of us, back.  Fear of looking silly, making a mistake, messing up, not being good enough.  I used to wait until I thought the timing was "right" for starting new projects and dreaming big dreams. I was afraid I wasn't organized enough, had enough patience, time, money, on and on and on.  That resulted in many projects getting put aside.  As I age, I am learning that the time will never be perfect for whatever project or plan I would like to implement, and that fear should be left behind.  Far behind.


So.....new strategy.  Commit to the project/plan/idea and the rest will fall into place.  Okay, it's not that easy, but with commitment to beginning an idea or project comes the excitement and energy to arrange the environment for it to come to fruition.

There are several things that have been in my mind, urging me to come into being, for a long time.  The time will never be perfect, and, as my daughter said while waiting for dinner tonight, "I'm growing a beard over here!"  Meaning, I don't want to wait until my little old lady mustache pops out to realize there were several things I'd really been meaning to get to.....for years. 

So, in the coming weeks and months, I'll be sharing some of these plans and projects with you.  No longer only in my head, but becoming a reality.
