Just Do It...Even If It's Baby Steps....

Just do it. That is my new motto anything that I need to do must get done. The time and energy spent wishing and wanting is done.
" See yourself as the person you would most truly like to be. Then live that vision in every moment, with every thought and action."...
I read that yesterday and I read it today and I am reading it now. That quote is speaking to me now, but somehow I don't want to listen because the moment I do my mind will produce a million and one reasons why I can't live it. There is another side of me that remembers living this and not being aware but if I do it now I can't help but to be fully aware and this is where I have conflict, conflict with what I believe and who I believe in.
"I can't believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary."
Then I read something like that. So am I supposed to be some weirdo? I know that I am not but how do I merge these two and become the person I visualize and the extraordinary one the Creator put me here to be. I guess they are one and the same. So here another one to add to my "becoming" by doing... At the beginning of this year I promised myself I would start to incorporate as much of the things that I enjoyed back into my life as much as possible so I have.
The first was drawing and sketching that I have done.
The second was music and that I have done.
The third and last is jogging, I started by walking 30mins a day I would park the truck and just walk for half an hour and now I feel strong enough to start speed walking 30mins after work all to eventually get back to jogging for 7miles at least 3 to 4 times a week.
The year is close to the halfway mark and I feel confident that I will be fully enjoying all the things that use to bring me joy....the next I'm working on is traveling....come on let's go!...small but consistent is the way.

Doing The Do...

Insight..clarity! This may be silly but lightning struck inside my head. The thing is this was the most obvious thought. when my hands are idle the mind plays tricks. The moment I "do" something any thing as in draw, write, mow the lawn in the back yard which by the way I did today along with pruning the front hedge, which by the way is missing two bushes, they were taken out when my aunt was backing in then finished off by me and the work truck when I first got it a giant Ford 150. Now on with the lightning bolt in my head. I must have pencil and paper near me at all times because when I am "doing" all is calm and I am focused but more important I am happy...

Today was I was filled with energy. I drove out the town of Sherborn and went into the Natick office to download it. I also had to send the last five towns completed emails informing the corresponding team leaders. This took me about an hour because I also had to catalog all the repaired leaks and create boundaries for the town of Sherborn that I had just completed. Then after all this I started driving through the town of Waltham which happens to be a great town to drive out. Then I arrived home at around 6pm; I started up the lap top deleted a few emails and read up on a few blogs then the fun part of the day started I began to sketch again this time it wasn’t as focused as before it was a bit more free no set design as in, I will only sketch tops today or skirts so on and so on. Today was just free. Listening to great tunes and drawing. The next step will be adding color and mix and matching and choosing the fabrics that I have imagined them in. Man! Just writing about this is making me buzz with energy….I wonder how I’m going to whine down from this..I didn’t think this would be so much fun, I am also meeting up with an old coworker who is still in the industry and hopefully I can get some real tips on how to move it to the next step….actually making the garments!

Doing What You Love....Loving What You Do.....

Enjoying the ride. I believe that getting the most out of life is a good thing. I was reading one of my many favourite blogs and in the posting he was discussing happy experiences and what makes them happy is not what happened but what you put into it and how "in the moment you were". What we did and where we were did not matter the point was what we all contributed at that point that made it great.
Today after I got home from work I did a lot of the things that brought me joy you know made me happy and they were, spend time with my sister cracking jokes and after she left I sat down plugged into Itunes did a bit of web surfing pulled out my sketch book and just got into the moment. Time flew I did so much in the span of 4hrs that I couldn't believe it I even had the energy to post this entry on my blog. Wow I liked it so much I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!!! Don't forget about the things you love to do, do them and your day will be filled with joy....until next time..

A Glimpse Into Creating......

"Whatever future you can imagine, you can create."
When I first read this you know what my thought was "yeah right" if thoughts have power than consider the one I uttered "yeah right"..what's that about? It is doubt..so is that the future that I will create? A future filled with doubt and fear? I do not want that as my future, so what future do I want? I had to empty my head of all those silly thoughts and arrive at the core and I have posted a picture to indicate the future that I want...now I must take action and start creating that future...

A Glimpse...

Last night I couldn't sleep...maybe it was because I would be working today on Saturday something I haven't done in quite a long time eventually a fell into a nice deep relaxing sleep.
As I drove around Needham this morning I was listening to classical music quietly and it was low enough that I could hear the birds singing. Then the sun hit my eyes and just as quickly as it came it went, the whole thing was a glimpse in time the clouds came right in and the moment was gone. How many glimpses do we get before we see? How many do we need? When will they stop coming?....I decided that I was going to pursue and collect as many glimpses as I can because when I want to complain about any thing or circumstance I will have a whole bunch of glimpses to keep me afloat and on my way......thank you.

Tapping Into Energy...

Moving forward can be scary but I love it, it's a nervous energy that rushes through me and allows me a glimpse into my future and all the possibilities. It's one of the best moments in my life, like total recall when the view is crystal clear and the fullness of it all hits you. That's what I used to run from and now it's all I can do to keep from running to it and giving in to all the overflowing impulses. So close I can taste it!....new found energy...go for it and feel the rush...what's holding you back?
