Admit It

I came to this planet with my head in the clouds; a certified daydreamer (and night dreamer, too). For most of my life dreaming about doing “that creative thing” took up more time than the time spent DOING it.

Dreaming is great for wasting time. It’s a cheery excuse for putting something off.

Maybe we feel stuck. Or not quite ready, yet. Someone told me that she is NOT going to start an exercise program until she loses 20 pounds. Huh?

Okay — dreams make us delusional. It’s all sunshine and rainbows when we close our eyes or zone out watching the ocean waves rise, curl and crash; repeat. In our dreams we ARE 20 pounds lighter. Or have  the credentials. Put the kids through school. Moved to the country. Retired.

Excuses. Excuses.

And here’s the crazy thing: We already know what it is we want to do. So why do we keep ourselves from doing the very thing we dream about?

Probably because a box of Oreos is harder to resist than four sets of hammer curls.

BE F-G AWESOME TODAY!
