We must first decide our destination before we can take the steps to get us there… When I used to sit down and begin to write a new story, I would start writing about something and have no idea where the story was going, no in between, no ending. I found a fascination in not knowing because I felt it would be more powerful if it evolved from that moment. It seemed to go okay but it also seemed to take a long time. I would eventually reach a point that I knew it had to end. I struggled for those endings and most never did end. I realize in hind site how foolish I was because I had nothing that I was driving toward, besides a completed story. I didn’t have a destination. I didn’t begin with the end in mind. Had I, my progress could have been measured, my stories would have all had endings, and they would be completed much sooner. What if this concept worked for other areas of my life, not just writing? Does the goal matter if I am able to simplify what it takes to accomplish the goal in a way I can understand and I know is doable? Some of us here may want a better job than we have now, others may just want a job, any job. There could be some of us who want to move up into a higher position at our current job, while others may know a better way to do the job and would love to give it a try on our own. The hardest part is the doing, taking the first step to take the first step, which is only difficult because we think it will be, which leads to the not doing.

Why not challenge ourselves? What do we have to lose? If you need any help figuring something out, let me know, and I’ll tell you what I see. #challenge #destination #begin #steps
