Start where you are
I have grand plans. I am constantly dreaming of a life where I am following my calling of writing and sharing through those optical fibres that connect me to the Internet. I dream of being responsible for the way I make my living.
When I'm doing something else, and dreaming of these plans, even planning these plans, it seems easy. Actually sitting down and starting, of course, is the hard part. Putting myself out there opens me up (my first thought) to criticism. Getting over that fear is definitely a hurdle. However, I also know that putting myself out there can make it possible for much more positive reinforcement to get in. The right people will find me if I'm sharing what I know and love.
Everything you want, is on the other side of fear. - Jack Canfield
I have read plenty of books, taken many courses, listened and reflected, listened and reflected, to how I might go about achieving all this. These grand plans.
Well, it's time to start. Perfection is the killer of so many great things. If we always waited for everything to be perfect before we started, life would pass us by. So I'm starting where I am.
Let's see where that takes me.
