Can you believe we are already in August? Wow, does time fly.

This is why it is so important to do little things each day to address your goals and aspirations. Do a little each day. You’ll be amazed how much traction you will make toward these goals by year’s end.

Read a little, write a little, exercise a little, meditate a little, pamper yourself a little, etc. These are my areas of concentration, so yours will be different. It’s little activities, consistently done over time that result in huge impacts later in life.

It also does not matter when you start. So what if you had an unproductive year. So what is you don’t have any idea what you want to do. So what, so what, so what.

Pick something new or something you’ve always wanted to do. Start small. Make it simple. Then do a little every day.

Happy August, folks!

Have a great Monday! Have a great week!

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Motivation Monday – Week of October 26, 2020

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

Arthur Ashe

I used to use so many excuses. Why I couldn’t do this or that. Have you ever felt that? If so, use this quote for motivation.

Start where you are. We are all some place. Think about what you want to do this week. Think about how you will accomplish these things. Plan then out, get them on your calendar and execute. Just assume you’ll get them done. If something appears to be too complicated, plan it out, break it down. Maybe you only do one step this week. Next week, you’ll tackle the next step(s).

If you’re a creative and stuck, don’t worry. There are no rules surrounding creativity. Some days you’ll be on fire, other days, you’ll be thinking how to move forward. Just keep thinking and working as best you can. You’ll get there.

This week, I’ll be doing my homework, exercising, doing my spiritual exercises, doing some chores around the house, reading, writing, learning. I’ll do some socializing, now that Michigan is predominantly opened back up. The libraries and coffee shops are open again–Thank God!

Sometimes, when I feel like I’m in a rut, I’ll head out to the library or one of my local coffee shops and work there. This year was tough getting out, but now that things are opening again, I’ll be back at it on a weekly basis.

Mondays for some folks are absolute torture. This used to be the way I felt too, especially when I was still working. How did I turn that around? I began doing the same things every day of the week, other than my “Do Nothing Day.” When I did this, Monday was just another day.

Well, that’s all I got for this week, folks. I hope all of you have a terrific week! Get out there and get at it. You’re the only one that can.

Until next time…

Dave
