Do your work, and I shall know you. Do your work, and you shall reinforce yourself. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Take a moment, step back from your concerns, and focus on one thing: You have one life to achieve everything you’ve ever wanted. Sounds simple, but when you really focus on it, let it seep into your consciousness, you realize you only have about 100 years to get every single thing you’ve ever wanted to do. No second chances. This is your only shot. Suddenly, this means you should have started yesterday. No more waiting for permission or resources to start.
Today is the day you make the rest of your life happen.
1. Write down one thing you’ve always wanted to do and how you will achieve that goal.
2. Don’t be afraid to be very specific in how you’ll achieve it: once you start achieving, your goals will get bigger and your capability to meet them will grow.
One thing I've always wanted to do is a tough one because there are many things I've always wanted to do and I tend to try and get them done. NOT in a bucket list style rather in a determined get on with my life and experience mode where it is about seeing, learning, feeling, hurting sometimes mode. I think I wrote this down before in my desire to learn to play cello. I also think one of my goals is to figure out financial stability and responsibility. I want to feel more secure but that will never happen.
My ultimate goal--have enough money for Wylie to go to college of his choice without his having to worry about loans.
