Taking my First Step

I am taking my first step in a new direction for my blog. When I first began this blog, my vision was different than it is now. I was more interested in format than content or maybe vice versa. In the beginning, I would publish once a week and work on the content during the week. In the end, this did not work for me. So, it is time for a new plan.

I have been struggling with what to write about. It came to me that as with all things. I decided to take that first step to decide on a new plan. To help me with this, I am going to write a thought for the day for a while. I have found that when there is something I need to be changed taking the first step is the hardest and the easiest, even if it is a baby step. I may only take one step a day towards my new goal, but you can never reach a goal unless you take that first step.

Stepping out to do something different is always scary, but often we need to take that step even though it scares us to death. I have found when I push through with my goals the fear will fade. If you have something that you need or want to do, make a plan. It will take hard work and perseverance, but goals can be reached.

This can be applied to almost anything you can think of. It is good to have an overview of the big picture but don’t let the big picture overwhelm you. I have to apply this method to many things I want to accomplish. It can be applied to this blog or keeping up with my house. For example, cleaning my kitchen is so rewarding for me. It doesn’t matter if other parts of my house look like a tornado hit. As long as my kitchen is clean, I will have the motivation to start on the rest. Sometimes I have to say to myself “suck it up buttercup” and get on with it.

Thank you for your time and attention. I hope that you embark on a new journey soon. Please feel free to share and comment.
