It has almost been two years since my last post, for no reason, and at the same time for many reasons.
As we go along, I am sure you will get to know all the reasons, but for now, we will move forward.
This actually gives me a great place to start.
We all have intentions. Sometimes, we allow Life, with a capital “L” to get us off track from the doing the things we have intended to do. Even when we are off track for almost two years, we can pick up our intentions and step right back again in the direction we have envisioned for ourselves.
One valuable lesson to keep in mind is not to beat up on our selves for not having stayed true to our course. We are on a journey. Nine times out of ten, we have in fact stayed true to our course, it just looks a little different than the picture we had in mind.
Sometimes our vision is so large, we overwhelm ourselves looking at all the moving parts it usually takes to make the things happen.
Let me define overwhelm for you. Overwhelm is FEAR. Simply Fear. Overwhelm stops us in our tracks. Fear stops us in our steps. Overwhelm and Fear are one and the same. They are two sides of the same coin.
The solution to overwhelm and fear is to pick your self up and decide what one thing you can do right now to move in the direction of your intention.
It doesn’t matter how much time you have sat on the sidelines. Taking just one step will re-energize you and make you feel good about yourself.
We never have to have all the answers. What to do? How to do it? When to do it? Where to do it? None of that matters. That’s the stuff that creates overwhelm and fear in the first place. We stop ourselves right out of the gate, in the beginning, because we feel like we have to have all the answers right here and now.
Trust me. Everything you want to know and feel like you need to know will be revealed to you after you take that first step in the direction of your intentions.
You’ve heard that old expression, or question. How do you eat an elephant? The answer is “One Bite At A Time”. That is the only way with everything. One Bite. One Step. Chew it real good, swallow that one bite. Look at the step you took. Appreciate taking the action. Then take the next bite. Take the next step. Bite by bite. Step by step. You will know exactly what your next step is. Next thing you know that elephant will be history because you ate it! In the same way, your intention will be accomplished and you will look back on what you have achieved with joy and satisfaction.
You have just witnessed me taking my next step back onto my journey after almost two years. I did exactly what I advised you to do. I stopped beating up on myself for what I had not done. I picked myself up. I did not have any answers. I had no idea what I was going to share with you today. I decided to take this one step in the direction of my vision. And, yes, I do feel re-energized and good about myself.
Heart-based sharing of my journey with you from here to there is my intention. I simply say my path from here to there because we are always moving forward from here to there.
