Are you surrounding yourself with the right people?

After forty-three posts exploring the question: What’s stopping you from getting what you want? My mind is a blank.

I could easily write another forty-three posts on the subject, but risk repeating myself…although the reminder has value too.

It’s that simple…

We’re all trying to achieve something better, make something more of our lives.

It begins by taking the first step…which is making a plan, then getting on with it…giving the mind a rest, and taking action for a change.

Isn’t it a relief to know it’s that simple? No need to figure out what’s stopping you…once you decide what you want, it no longer applies…go for it.

Overload and overwhelm…

Have we reached word-overload? Thought-overwhelm? All we have to do is focus on the action part…the rest being merely delay tactics?

Energy not spent on the doing isn’t production…to be productive, we need to produce.

Which means getting out of our head, and on to our feet.

Are we overcomplicating things…

Have we become too comfortable with over-complicating things?

Isn’t it time to enjoy the ride, the thrill of the ups and downs of it?

Key takeaway…

Surround yourself with the right people…which is, perhaps the most important idea in this post.

And this a close second:“Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday.” — Dale Carnegie.

That’s where my head is today…
