The truth hurts. The truth can also set us free.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever!”
Can’t you just hear people saying this, or thinking it? I say it too. We all do sometimes.
In fact, I’ve said this all my life.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever.”
Until a few years ago when things began to change.
One close friend describes me as, “A Transformed man.”
Just yesterday, at jeffnoel.org (spirit) I posted about the fog, the semi-conscious state many of us seem to go through life with. Some may call it auto-pilot.
As we are into the fourth day of the new year already, wanted to remind everyone that the goal from all this writing is:
These things have the ability to help transform anyone. At the moment, it’s working slowly, but powerfully.
“In soloing – as in other activities – it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.” — Amelia Earhart
Will 2010 be your year to finish something you started?
Today. This morning. Right now. Bring it on.
What does that mean? Who am I talking to?
First and foremost, I’m talking to myself. Journaling is a world-class way to self-awareness.
Self-awareness is the most important step towards self-improvement.
My (life) pace does not lend itself to either.
Which is why I write five blogs every day.
What was once impossible, is now business as usual.
Hard work is a great game plan.
Hope is not a game plan.
Hope is indispensable, please don’t misunderstand the intent here.
But hope alone, is not a game plan, hard work is:
Rather try hard and fail, than to simply hope and never try hard enough.
Resist the temptation to lean on self-pity. Click here if all you want right now is hope. You must have hope. It’s not a game plan, but it is the start.
