There's still time.....


So....we're already halfway through the year.  How's that goal list trimming down? Have you accomplished any of the goals that you set earlier in the year that should have materialized by now, according to your time-frame? Are you on track to complete a year-end goal? If not....what's the excuse and are you willing to take ownership for the delays?

You can't continue to go year after year simply 'thinking' about getting IT done.  There's no longer time to scribble and think and dream about the same thing over and over and over again.  Sure, there are some projects/goals that are quite long-term, however, if your excuse isn't really an excuse, but a Fear...well, it's time to get down to brass tacks and figure out why you're afraid.  Is it fear of failure or success?  Be honest with yourself. Release the outcome and focus on the activity in each moment that will lead to the completion of the intended goal.  Continue to look forward to those "what's next" moments.

So, once again....we're halfway through the year.......Are you busy....are you making progress? If not.....Stop....Be honest....Be courageous enough to take ownership of the REAL reason and shake it off....Get down to it and quit wasting time talking about it and delaying forward motion. Be About It....Get It Done...Lights, camera....Action! Take a deep breath and simply Start ....... and Keep Moving Forward....You still have time to achieve what you truly Believe you are capable of...Just Do It!
