The one thing we know is true when we do it, but we rarely do it

What if we got away a little more often?

 

The one thing we know is true when we do it, but we rarely do it.

  1. Being decisive

What is liberating about making decisions is that we quickly know if we were right or wrong. And that knowledge feels great.

The sinister part of indecision is that we carry the burden of “what if”. The longer we carry it, the heavier it gets.

Travel lightly my friends, travel lightly.

The best medicine for when we are overwhelmed by our situation

excerpt from Seth Godin's Icarus Deception
Thinking it’s easier to hide will catch up with us eventually, if not sooner

 

The best medicine for when we are overwhelmed by our situation.

Depends.

Depends on:

  • how deep we’re into our mess
  • how busy we are with all life’s “stuff”
  • how motivated we are to feel better

Isn’t it interesting how much we know we should do, but seem to find it next to impossible to figure out and implement?

Weird.

How can we know, you know, the common sense things we should do, but continuously struggle with? How?

As funny as it is sickening, no?

 

Two things that are just sickening when you think about them:

  1. how challenging it is to stay organized without being compulsive
  2. how many motivational speakers are out there with compelling theories

What do we do?

If we did one thing every single day for a long, long time…

Abbey Ryan is a Linchpin. Inspired by “A Painting A Day” movement, she began in 2007 and hasn’t stopped.

 

 

Makes us wonder what we might start to do each day, and how far we’d get if we did that one thing every single day for a long, long time.

We’d have to be decently organized in order to carve out time (energy) every single day, and not let a day go by without doing it.

And on the days we aren’t especially organized, we’d have to be decently committed to doing it anyway, whether we felt like it or not.

Anyone else fascinated by how heavily we bank on the future?

We fantasize about what we’ll do differently in the future

 

Anyone else fascinated by how heavily we bank on the future?

What is it about the fantasy of a future state where we have so much less to worry about or occupy our time, where we can spend countless, glorious hours, days, weeks, combing through our stuff?

For what? To live in the past?
