We CREATE our Future
I recently came across this quote:
“The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made. And the activity of making them changes both the maker and the destination.” – John H. Schaar
We don’t arrive at our future… we create it! There needs to come a time to ACT.
Just Do It
Do you dream of your blog one day being bigger, better, more profitable, or bring you better opportunities?Just Do It!Your future isn’t something that will just magically happen to you – you make that future.So the time is now to begin moving in that direction through action!
Is it All Too Big?
Of course, giving the advice ‘just do it’ might be the kick up the pants that some people need to get moving but many bloggers I meet feel overwhelmed by all that lays ahead in order to create their dreams.I often here one of two things from bloggers facing this:
- There is too much to do
- I want to do it perfectly
Both of these statements can cause paralysis and put your future on hold. Here’s my advice to you… (and I’m really writing this for me as well… because I feel both of those things too)…
Start With Something Small
Choose one small thing to start with that will move you toward your dream and do it to the best of your ability .Let’s break that down:
- Choose One Thing– if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the many things you need to do, you can end up doing nothing or trying to do everything, but failing. Doing one thing well, and then moving onto the next thing, will take you further than either of those options.
- Do a Small Thing– if you’re currently ‘stalled’ you need to get momentum so choose a smaller thing to get the wheels rolling. Achieving that small thing will give you energy to tackle the next bigger thing.
- Choose something that will Move You Toward Your Dream– it’s so easy to be distracted by tasks that seem like a good idea but aren’t really important in the scheme of your goals. Choose something that is directly tied to your ultimate goal (I’ll give you some examples below).
- Do it to the Best of Your Ability– if you only ever do things you can do perfectly, you may never do anything! Do it as well as you can now and perfect it later. By starting you’ll learn so much and in the long run will produce something great.
