Today's Gift
Today's Gift
"To think too long about
doing a thing often becomes its undoing." ~Eva Young
Say when it's time to
begin.
I have a friend who is always planning to start a
writing project "as soon as she gets organized." She has read nearly every book,
attended every seminar, and bought all the tapes on the subject. She has closets
full of organizers, drawers stuffed with folders, and several related computer
programs. There's only one problem. Instead of starting, she hides behind a mask
of "firsts." "I'll start writing, but first I've got to learn this program."
"I'll listen to that tape, but first I've got to read this book."
Are you hiding behind a mask of firsts? Is there
always something that keeps you from beginning? Take off the mask. Start the
project. Ask that special person for a date. Do that Fourth and Fifth Step. Stop
making excuses. Eliminate them.
Learn to say when it's time to begin.
Higher Power, please help me eliminate excuses
from my life. Show me how full my life can be when I pursue my
dreams.
From the book More Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie
