Take a Step

There are many facets of designing a life in which your dreams come true. When I talk to people I ask them to Look, Learn, and Act. We must be able to see our current reality and understand what it means in light of our destination. But, at the end of the day nothing moves forward without action.

As you look at 2012 what is it you want to write? say? acquire? give away? bake? sell? create? experience?

Ask yourself this question: What is one thing I can do today to take a step in that direction? Perhaps it is as simple as getting the title to your report or speech written. It may be simply spending some time on Google finding places to experience your dream, or finding a recipe to that dish you have been waiting to create. Don't judge the "size" of the step so long as there is a step.

Your next question should be: What should I do right now? If you can accomplish your step in the next 3 minutes, then Do. It. Now. If not, then take the next 3 minutes to schedule your step on your calendar. Give it a time slot. Mark it "urgent". Set an email reminder. Don't let anything sway you from taking your step at the scheduled time.

The step is your goal. It is the path to your dream.

What step can you take or schedule today?
