HERE ARE TWO VERY POWERFUL THINGS I'VE LEARNED ABOUT WRITING THINGS DOWN AND MAKING LISTS:
1) A SIMPLE RE-NAMING TURNED MY "WISH" LIST INTO A "TO-DO" LIST
2) MAKING A "TO-DO" LIST TURNED MY DREAM INTO A PLAN
WILL TODAY BE THE DAY YOU MAKE A POSITIVE CHANGE? IT STARTS BY CREATING SPACE; GETTING RID OF WHAT ISN'T WORKING!
THERE ARE TWENTY-FOUR HOURS IN A DAY WHEN YOU START REMOVING THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU UNHAPPY OR DON'T SERVE YOUR HIGHER PURPOSE YOU MAKE ROOM FOR THE THINGS THAT DO
HERE ARE TWO VERY POWERFUL THINGS I'VE LEARNED ABOUT CHANGE:
1) WE REMOVE THINGS FROM OUR LIVES IN THE ORDER THEY'RE CAUSING US UNHAPPINESS AND/OR DISCOMFORT 2) THE SPEED IN WHICH WE DO THIS IS INDICATED BY OUR LEVEL OF DISCOMFORT, OUR DESIRE FOR HAPPINESS, AND/OR OUR COMMITMENT TO CHANGE
IF YOU PUT YOUR HAND ON A HOT STOVE YOU REMOVE IT AS FAST AS YOU'RE PHYSICALLY ABLE, RIGHT?
THE FEELINGS TEST
MAKE A SHORT, MANAGEABLE TO-DO LIST OF THINGS YOU REALLY WANT TO GET DONE. MAYBE HALF A DAY'S WORTH.
DAY ONE: DON'T DO IT. NONE OF IT. BLOW IT OFF. AT THE END OF THE DAY MAKE A TRUE AND HONEST ASSESSMENT OF HOW THAT MAKES YOU FEEL.
DAY TWO: DO IT. ALL OF IT. MAKE IT HAPPEN! AT THE END OF THE DAY MAKE A TRUE AND HONEST ASSESSMENT OF HOW THAT MAKES YOU FEEL.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO PROCRASTINATE VS REALIZING YOUR POTENTIAL?
