“If something hasn’t happened, it’s not because it can’t happen, or won’t; it just hasn’t happened yet!”~Whoopi Goldburg

Power Thought for May

A Moment with Donna...

Small Steps

Push, push, push!  Rush, rush, rush!

Do you ever feel like you are shackled to a scarlet hamsters’ wheel that just keeps turning and turning and you are going nowhere fast?  Do you ever stop and look at your life and wonder…where do I want to be and why am I continuing to run, run, run in the same circle cycle over and over again?  Are you feeling so overwhelmed that you forget to take time for yourself, to reign yourself in so you can make some evaluations about what is most important to you?  Is being constantly busy a status symbol in this world of drama we live in?

I will jokingly tell my friends that the reason women live longer than men is that we can’t afford to die.  There is always a toilet to clean, a baby to burp, problems to solve and the work is always there, never done.  Remember the multi-tasking woman song Patti Page used to sing…’I am woman, hear me roar’, etc, etc.  I don’t know about you but I am finding that it is getting easier to have conversations with dust bunnies that to become frantic about picking them up.  Sometime you just have to set time aside for yourself so you can figure out what your priorities are.

A few weeks ago when I was doing a public appearance a gentleman came up to me, his name was Bill, and told me he had been saving all of my newsletters since he had started receiving them in the early nineties.  He said he was amazed at how I put the newsletter together and had new information in it every month; how did I manage to do it?  I told him that many times I honestly didn’t know what I was going to write about but I would keep my eyes and ears open and amazingly some topic always presented itself.  Many times I would do my outline and add items in a piecemeal pattern and bingo…it was ready to mail out.

It is like writing a book- you do one word at a time that turns into a sentence, then into a paragraph and soon you have filled a page. As you continue eventually you have the manuscript.  It takes one step at a time consistently applied in a constant direction of choice and the job is done.  Small steps, one at a time, can carry you great distances and you’ll arrive at your destination perhaps more rested and aware than someone who is rushing, trying to take all kinds of short cuts and finding – like the story of the tortoise and the hare – they created more obstacles for themselves than necessary.

Have you ever wanted to change a habit you didn’t like?  When you mindfully choose another choice and deliberately do a replacement habit over and over again it will eventually eliminate the old habit and you’ll wonder why you made such a big issue out of it-questioning why it took so long for you to realize how easy it was to change.  Ben Franklin kept a log where he recorded his actions for the day.  He consciously recognized that it was his thinking and the patterns of his actions, along with his habits that had to be disciplined if he was to be successful.  Consistency, repetition and being attentive does work, these small consistent steps get results.

                    Bill Nolan, an award winning science fiction writer and author of Logan’s Run, Autobiography of Steve McQueen and 84 other books, not including hundreds of other articles and publications told me last week that his goal is to write and publish 100 books.  He writes every day. Bill has developed disciplines through the years that today enable him to publish comic books about Logan’s Run and other authored characters.  He also is involved in movies and productions of various types. I am amazed at what he has accomplished since I first met him in the ‘80’s but he just takes one day at a time and does what he can, even if it is writing only one sentence or paragraph.

                    Life is for living now.  Whatever one wants to change or improve when you take the time to think through what is most important you’ll determine the steps you’ll need to take to get there.  Start where you are, dump the past, and begin to consciously be attentive to your environment and what you see as the changes that need to be made.  Whether it is cleaning up the clutter in the office, spending more time with your loved ones or writing a book – outline the steps you need to take to achieve what you desire.  One step at a time, one day at a time and you’ll be amazed at how much you’ll accomplish.

May’s Chuckle

Happy Mother’s Day

"Happy Mother's Day" means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.

It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.

But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love.

~Nicholas Gordon
