Hello to all!

Okay. yesterday, I talked about having to do a dreaded word: WORK.  Funny how that word draws all sorts of nasty connotations, but it is a fact of life. You work to breathe - all sorts of muscles and ribs work without your noticing or giving them permission to do so.

So, enough of that. I hope you have got the message: without some input of yours (i.e. WORK), you will not get anywhere. EVER. It's that simple, or that complicated, if you want to make it so.

Good. On to the nuts and bolts. Next thing is: Choose WHAT you want to do. One more step.

You want to write a book/ sail the world/change your job/find a boy- or girl- friend/whatever. Okay. That's great. That's another small step.

NOW comes a harder step. BREAK that big step into a set of VERY SMALL movements. If you want to writer a book, pick a topic. If you want to sail the world, look at maps of sailing routes. Change your job? Evaluate your skills. Do they need to be updated to go get another job? Most do these days. But, for now, just find which skills will need to be updated. Find a boy-or girl-friend? What TYPE of them do you want?

Right. That's your homework for now. Nothing else. Not a thing. Just seed the idea. Otherwise, you will be overwhelmed before you start. Use pad and pencil to actually WRITE these ideas down. Once you have them out of your head and in sight, they exist. So, only do that for now.

Then put the whole thing out of your mind for a day or so. Then come back to it. I'll be waiting for you. :)
