"Get clear on what matters by getting rid of everything that doesn't."
~Unknown
What stops you from doing that thing?
You know, THAT thing. That dream that nags you. That project that you feel is perfect for ____ and needs to happen. That start on the goal you know is important to your life satisfaction. Is it too many responsibilities, or not enough resources or maybe it just makes your head spin to consider it? Put whatever came to your mind in a physical form. What does it look like?
I bet it resembles a large pile of something...
A large structure, and it seems immovable. Oh boy, the phone calls, and research and time... And time... And what if you do all of that, and you find out it's really more like a Mountain than a pile? It is in this shadow of the pile that you find a murky vision of what you see. Murky isn't what you need my friend. You need clarity. A clear view of what it is that is preventing you from doing it. And then taking it apart, or just tossing it aside. Because there are more unneeded things in that pile than there are significant ones. How do I know? I've been there, and I've sat in the middle of those piles.
You think you don't you have enough to accomplish it.
But having less of whatever it is you need to get started and get clarity does not equal having nothing. Stop saying you don't have what is necessary. Just stop doing all the things that you don't need to do in order to get 'it' done, The truth is you have SOMETHING, even if it's only the idea and the will. What can you do with your little old something? Use it to find the other little bits of things you need to do more?
You don't need more to do more.
You need to do more with less.
Accept the less, because it's far from nothing.
Cheers.
