Just One Thing

I had a conversation on G-chat with a friend today.  We talked about our lives, our dreams, and how to accomplish our goals.  We have been friends for years and we have always been able to supply each other with much needed support during our most difficult times.  We give each other strength.

I shared something with my friend that I have been doing lately and I have decided to share it with my Skirt! peeps as well (although I suspect that most of you may have mastered this). 

If you are living the life that you don't want start thinking long and hard about the life that you do want.  And even if the life you want seems out of reach, just hold on tight to that dream because it is yours and no one can take that away from you. 

Once you have identified yor dream/goal do at least one thing a day that moves you closer to reaching that dream.  Maybe that one thing is writing the first page to the first chapter of your first book.  Maybe that one thing is starting a business plan.  Maybe it's simply sending an email to gather more information about a venture you want to pursue.  I really don't care what that one thing is because it doesn't matter.  What matters is that you are doing something - anything, that will ultimately lead to a better life. A life where you achieve your biggest dream. 

I know this is cliche but remeber that often times, slow and steady wins the race.  Doing one thing a day may not seem like much but doing nothing - well, that is just tragic.  You owe yourself more than that.  Just do one thing today (and everyday until you reach your goal). You won't regret it.
