To Thine Own Self Be True

Of course when the idea of writing every single day wandered into my mind it was met with a slight bit of doubt. Would I stick with it and more importantly what would I write every day? I didn’t plan this out over weeks and collect a long list if topics and ideas. This couldn’t possibly be more off the cuff or spontaneous for me.

But let’s be real for a second. Sometimes there just comes a point and you know you have to be real with yourself and make the extra effort to make something happen. It’s easy to get caught up in so many excuses as to why something won’t work. Or oh! even better how you would be more successful or feel more inspired if you lived somewhere else. In the end, this is of course just bullshit.

There are people all over the world doing some pretty cool and even extraordinary things. And all these people live in all kinds of different places. They don’t become successful because they had the most inspiring house or apartment, view or any other “thing” which made creating easier. Some of these people don’t even have all the schooling, or courses or years of experience as another person but the difference for those who succeed are those who are taking action. They are just doing IT.

Instead of being caught in a loop of what if’s or if only’s I remembered a line that my mentor told me….Everywhere you go, there you are. Bingo. If you are unable to get started right where you are in this exact moment then how can you be better somewhere else? You will still be there. Just like YOU are wherever you are right now.

So today the reflection is coming back to that line. Everywhere I go, there I am. If I cannot give to myself or make a commitment and be reliable to ME, then what do I really have to give others?
