Day 221: If You Are Not Doing This One Thing…You Are Insane

As you can see, I have switched to writing once a week now so that I can have more time to achieve the goals that I had originally set out to do…health, wealth, and relationships. When I started this project, I kind of jumped in with both feet very blindly and didn’t anticipate how much time and energy it would take. Not that I mind at all, I absolutely LOVE writing and I enjoy the fact that it has connected me with all of you out there in ways I never imagined…and I want to be doing a LOT more of it. HOWEVER, I had to take a look at my list of priorities and re-evaluate.
How do I do that? Test and measure. Is what I am doing now accomplishing what I set out to do? Is it taking me closer to or further from my original intention? The answer, at least for the time being, was further from. I spent more time writing than doing. So now I am doing the opposite. After all, my intention is to affect and inspire change through ACTION, not just write about it. Anyone can do that. It was an important and very valuable lesson I learned recently from a very smart business coach. Sounds like an obvious one, but it surprises me how few of us actually do it. Including me.
Without test and measure, you may as well call me insane because I would be expecting different results while doing the same darn thing. I’ve done that for such a long time already, and my life is a reflection of that. A little out of control. I am ready to move on and MAKE something different for myself. Notice I said MAKE.
Now the big question is…

…What would you like to MAKE for yourself?
