Dave, this is the second time I have read this, and it couldn’t be more appropos. Being limited by chemo and work in our two businesses, no money, etc., my frustration levels peaked this week until I actually let this soak in. Once my brain actually wrapped around it, I began thinking of all kinds of ways to get my dream business rolling. I had horrible “writer’s block”, for lack of a better term, and it came to me, finally, how I could make that work! Thanks for the light bulb moment – now I can move forward to bigger and better things:)!

Very difficult. I want to give up alcohol, but the short term payoffs are so sweet——-I am having a hard time doing what I know I need to do for a better life. Does anyone out there have any ideas to help me?

I used to love the word “until”. It was my favorite way of putting off anything that sounded like something I’d like to do but was too intimidated to give a real honest try.

If I didn’t actually attempt to do it, how could I fail, right?

Well, I finally realized by not trying, I was already failing to do it.

That’s helped me a lot, but since I know this is a problem for me, I am going to set up my system to send me a link to this page once a month, just so I re-read it and keep myself from falling back into the “until” trap.

This month, I’ll focus on posting regularly to my blog, instead of waiting “until” I find my personal style in writing or knowing how to take decent photos, every time Until I figure it out, I’ll be winging it, but at least I am doing something!

Thanks for the kick in the pants.

I can’t remember who said it but the quote is this – you can have results or excuses but not both.

My “until” has been external. I’ve been waiting for other people to change. I’ve been waiting for these other people to stop doing that, start doing this. Rubbish.

The only person I have any influence over is myself. So I have to change. If I don’t like the behaviour of others, I now make the choice to respond differently to them instead of passively waiting “until” they see the error of their ways!
