the main thing

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
~ Steven Covey

It is so easy to get distracted and let something take your attention.  Focus is a big struggle of mine, to stay focused and on task.  The more I write and the more I exercise, the more I see clearly and how without these kinds of commitments my focus is not so sharp.  I have so many things going on in my head all the time and without some sort of direction I flounder.  It’s so powerful to commit to something yet everything in my being resist it.  Well I’m giving in to that at least today and I will strive for many tomorrows to come. 

It’s interesting that all it took was for someone to challenge me to do something for 30 days and that concept I seemed to wrap my head around.  It seemed manageable and something that my fear of failure could relax around.  Baby steps to live the life you say want, that’s what I say.  How many times do you say you want this or that but you’re not willing to do the steps, you’re not willing to fall, or feel awkward, or fail.  I started writing this blog a couple of years ago because I wanted to be a voice of support.  Life gives us so many chances to show up and be who we were born to be and I want to be a catalyst for you and me to recognize it and embrace it.  We all need to be reminded that we have what it takes and that the voice saying we can’t, is just our fears speaking.  The truth is that we are powerful being measure and living small doesn’t suit us.

Today I am grateful for the quiet, for the peace and for this amazing climate I live in.
