What's the Hold Up?

You know That Thing....That Thing that you keep wanting to do or change or achieve....what's the hold up?

If you haven't done it yet, there can only be a few reasons:
  1. It’s not what you really want at this time
  2. You don't think it's possible for you
  3. You don't know how
  4. You don't have the resources
  5. It's something someone else wants for you
If you identify with (1) or (5), let it go. If you don’t really want to do something, there is no sense in wasting your time…move on to a new topic. If you think you should do something only because you know it’s what someone else wants you to do there is no sense in wasting their time…tell them to move on to a new topic.

If you identify with (2), (3), or (4), then you have a starting point instead of a moving on point. Sometimes initiating change or planning a goal can be overwhelming. Take the reason that you most identify with and drill down….break it down…make it do-able in the right sequence and in small steps and you’ll be on your way.

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
