This year I have decided to focus daily on taking any step towards my goals no matter how small or how uncomfortable they make me feel. I do believe that there are qualities about myself that can have a real positive impact on those around me – I am a bit of a health nut, an avid reader, travel junky, obsessed with raising my kids to have a growth mindset and to be decent human beings, a neat freak, design aficionado, wine enthusiast, and generally a happy person. So I have decided to put myself out on a limb. I don’t usually open myself up to people and decided that I will make myself uncomfortable by being so vulnerable and let’s just see what happens. My days lately have consisted of some interesting ideas that I will jot down and then think of at least two people I know who might be able to provide some insight or guidance. Who knows, maybe some idea that I thought to be small or just not a good one turns into something more. An example from last week was that I had an idea for writing a book. Please be advised that I have never written anything other then answers on my law school exams and now the beginnings of this blog. However, focused on my goals for the year I was committed to call a great friend of mine who is a writer and discuss my idea. I was so nervous because I highly respect her and her talent. I pictured in my mind that she would laugh out loud at the concept and we would joke about it later. The reality was that I was sweating just thinking about it but once the words came out and she gave me her feedback, I am working on an outline and will see where it takes me. So maybe my crazy idea isn’t so crazy. For now let’s put ourselves out there to make a positive change and enjoy the process.
