1 Thing You Can Do This Week …
(To See Things Done)
How much preparation is necessary to begin a task and how much energy is required to complete it?
Most aspirations, goals, projects and dreams find their graveyard in that cemetery of contemplation.
Because we are frightened of beginning something and looking foolish, or running out of money, or failing to complete it, we decide that hesitating, delaying and avoiding is often the more mature choice.
I am not sure that the airplane could ever have been invented if there were not thousands of legitimate attempts to make one which failed–but in the process, gave a valued piece of information for going forward.
So the one thing you can do this week is:
Find what needs to be done and learn how to do it.
In the process of that education, you may well discover that the conclusion is far beyond your ability, or maybe even grasp.
But you will become informed. Therefore, you will progress the cause and you will possess greater understanding of yourself and your world with this noble attempt.
There are two great responsibilities given to the human race
1. Tell the truth
Nothing goes forward when we’re constantly trying to do damage control and lying.
2. Try something
Stop discussing, plotting, criticizing or undermining the efforts you see around you and get behind an idea, having first prepared yourself by learning how to be a good contributor.
That is your goal for this week–the one thing.
When you find what needs to be done, sit down and learn if there’s any way that you can lend a helping hand.
P. S. (This is actually a double P. S.):
My heart and soul are crushed this morning over the loss of Gilda York, a friend of mine who followed today’s principle as a champion. She took the young people around her and gave them direction, purpose and a little bit of beauty that they wouldn’t otherwise have experienced. She was killed in a head-on collision with a drunk driver
And also, today is my anniversary. The secret to marriage is actually to have the stamina and intelligence not to keep too many secrets.
