Let me ask you something: how many of the things that you want to do and aren’t doing come with a prerequisite?

“I will do this if…” “I will start this when…”

If this applies to most or all of the things you wish to begin or continue, I have bad news for you: you’re your obstacle. Likely, something else inside of you is burdening you and holding you back, but we can get into that another day.

For now, let’s just get the ball rolling to get you ready to take on those projects and dreams.

I need you to find something that you can do. Today. 

I don’t care how small it is – it can be the crossword puzzle on the back of today’s newspaper, it can be finally straightening out that corner of the rug you’ve been tripping over for a month – I don’t care. 

Find something you can do right now – something that will spark joy – and do it.

Use the sense of pride you gain from that accomplishment as a launchpad to begin something else you can do right now – maybe something a little bigger. 

Keep building that snowball. Pick up where you left off tomorrow. 

I bet that if you keep building that snowball, once it gets big enough, you will find that some of the reasons you haven’t started your real dreams or projects now aren’t reasons after all. 

I bet you begin those projects and dreams a lot sooner than you think is possible now. 

You’re stalling. Distract yourself by doing something else. Then… Keep going.
