Now means Now.
Good day Gentle Reader,
Hope your week is going very well so far. Sunny and warm here in the big city. Summer is taking her sweet time in leaving! Niiiiice.
Normally I don't chat about myself as much as I love to discuss YOU. However, this past week has been difficult because my dear childhood pal Kathy passed away from cancer. Always painful to lose a close friend but even more so when you've had a huge history together. She was the keeper of all my secrets and my sidekick in all my childhood adventures (since grade 1). We were a mini version of Lucy and Ethel. I will miss her tremendously.
So today is all about exactly that - TODAY. Being in the now. The present. Sure it can be tempting to put your projects on the backburner and take a break for a bit but it's always better to move forward each and every day. You can still take those baby steps but it's important to make them. Even a little progress each day will add up to a lot in just a few weeks.
It takes just 21 days to make or break a habit - that can be very good in turning those big dreams into even bigger realities! It's important to fantasize about how you will feel when you complete that project, write that book, or lose those 25 lbs (yay!) but the recipe really needs a mixture of action plus dreaming in order to equal success.
Your homework this week is to revisit some of those goals that you have written on those post-it notes and keep moving them week to week in your agenda book! I do the same thing so you're certainly not alone. However this time, we're going to write them in INK and assign specific deadlines. For today, acknowledge at least three and commit to finishing them by December 31, 2011.
I know you can do it!
Until next time, hug your loved ones a little tighter today.
Linda
