Baby Steps
We’ve been at this for a week now, and I think it’s time to take some definitive action. Let’s look back at our prosperity visions and see if we can find one small doable thing. Nothing too hard, nothing overly complicated… something simple and well within the realm of possibility.
I’m willing to bet that each of you have something on your list that you know you COULD accomplish, or do, or have, but you don’t, or haven’t, or won’t. It doesn’t have to be something that happens right away. It could be more long term, like finding a great job, learning a skill, or starting your own business.
Alternatively, you can use the “more money” idea. I am sure that we all have that on our prosperity list. In which case, you could start a list of all the ways you could begin to bring in more money. Clipping coupons. Odd jobs. Cutting costs. Selling stuff. Making stuff to sell. Etc.
Here’s another example: if your vision of prosperity includes travel… maybe you could think about planning a small trip. Traveling someplace close enough to be affordable and interesting enough to be fun.
Once you have found something small and simple that you think you can find the resources for. Write it down. Now, make a list of what is required. List all the steps that need to be taken in order to achieve it. Pay attention to any resistance you might feel. Be aware of and notice which of the steps you cringe at the thought of actually having to do.
Tomorrow we’re going to explore these resistances and road blocks. Today, we’re just writing down the abc’s of how we might get there from here.

Ok, so I’m planning to fix my plumbing so I can take nice hot soaks in the tub… yes !
Still mulling over yesterdays insight. I dont put much effort into living because I am caught in the headlights of death. It is eye opening to realize this but not sure how to proceed. I think my dad got caught in this after his brother died.
Well… Daniel… that’s a really tough one. Because we, none of us, are getting out alive.
And I think there has to be some hopeful reason to enjoy what time we do have…
some days for me it’s as simple as I want to finish this frickin website so I’ll have a sort of a legacy to leave that isn’t just a pile of stuff that will probably end up in a landfill…
Other times – for me – it’s as simple as I just want to do this one more thing… see this one more thing… hear this one more song… go to this one more place…
Besides… people frickin love you! And they need you!
That’s one of my prime motivators (I discovered in the course of this project) … it motivates me to carry on, to take care of myself, to enjoy the good times… because I have people who love me, and need me, and depend on me to be there for them. Some days it doesn’t seem to be enough… but most days it is…
And I like life.
Maybe that’s what’s missing for you? You aren’t getting enough enjoyment in being alive…
Maybe you are in numbness … instead of in passion
Frozen instead of on fire…
Under the hill instead of on top of it…
I don’t know.
These are random thoughts that came to me as I read your post. We’ll talk Sunday!
