Thanks Lynne,

We all get those poisonous thoughts sometimes. No worries. Just let them pass. ;)

Cheers,
Karol

Thanks for this. There is a situation brewing that I don’t like and I have many ideas on how to improve it. Then the poison thoughts come in–”But I’m not qualified.” “No one will listen to me anyway.” I think I’m gonna give this a shot.

Have a great day, Karol!

Thanks for adding this Joe: “The more we do, the more we learn, and better of a system we can develop.” That is such a great point and it’s actually the crux of an article I wrote about Learning By Doing (plan on posting it Thursday).

Great post! I agree that if we don’t know where to start we must take the leap regardless. In essence, we will never be anywhere but our present situation, which means we may never have the “ideal” circumstances to begin, and for this reason we must accept that clarity will come with action. The more we do, the more we learn, and better of a system we can develop.

Thanks

:) This made me laugh: “I wanted to be annoyed” – it’s all part of our conditioning. We’re conditioned to believe more words = better content. Usually, more words = more fluff. http://www.ridiculouslyextraordinary.com/refine-your-signal-or-fuck-the-fluff/

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Sarah!

I love this post! At first I wanted to be annoyed because it was so short, but you’re absolutely right anything more would be fluff and it speaks for itself. Just a point in the right direction and a kick in the ass to say, “see it really is this simple”. Everything else that stops you is an excuse. Taking the first step is hard, but it shouldn’t be. Why do we over think, over dramatize and just over do everything in our heads! And then it hit me, we do it as another excuse. Another way to stop ourselves from succeeding. That old fear thing. Can we just kick fear’s ass once and for all and be done with. Instead of being afraid of failing, maybe we could be afraid of not failing, which at least is a step in the right direction and would motivate us to do something. Thanks for once again smacking me upside the head and reminding me that I must keep moving forward or accept that nothing will change. The choice is up to me.
