" Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told,' I'm  with you kid. Let's go' "
- Maya Angelou

Are you waiting? Or are you Creating?

I had to quote myself and really ask this question to my inner passions recently.
Well...alot of times recently.

What am I doing today, that will get me closer to those goals and dreams that I long to obtain for my family and I?

When it took me longer than 15 seconds to come up with an answer, I knew I did not have a satisfactory one.

So...I made a simple pact with myself, to do a simple gesture.  One that I have learned from many successful sources...but somehow had managed to not carry forward for my own progress. 

I began by creating a quiet place, and turned off the distractions.  You know...the television.

I bought myself an instrumental CD of spanish guitar playing.  No lyrics, as they too distract my scattered thought process.

I placed a picture of my wife and son in front of me by my computer.  My "Why" in this world, yes they are...and my deepest running motivation to be all I can be.

And then...well then I pulled out a bunch of old and ongoing 'To Do' lists.  I reviewed them...actually only a couple of them...all 10 pages each of them.  An eye opening punch in the gut.

And I felt what I already knew.  Life was passing by while i made lists of unimportant things.  Lists that only made me feel more lost and more overwhelmed and ultimately, truthfully, made me further and further away from successfully reaching for a meaningful goal or dream.  Too much cluttersome stuff occupying good property in my head.

So, I am now on a decluttering my life mission.  One calm step at a time.  As I do, I will focus on the consistancy of my little successes and I will breathe as I enjoy the compounding benefits from breaking things into clean and attainable goals.

I am making progress on my dreams .... with one simple, measurable and consistant step at a time.  And I can feel it... I can enjoy the moments I now create... and I can remember these feelings.  I have been here before.  Come on...I'll show you.
