Motivate me to make better choices and decisions

Every day we are faced with millions of tiny decisions, and it is those tiny decisions that have the biggest impact on our lives. Little by little we can move towards our dreams, or we can find a million different detours to take us away from what we say we want.

It's the middle of February already, I know you know that, but to me I feel like I am already behind. Too many unstructured evenings has meant that my normal writing time has been eroded. But there is an added dimension - I don't think so well when it's hot, and being summer in Australia believe me when I say I think my brain started to melt on occassion. But this week it is going to be fantastic. Warm but not stinking hot....and not too humid either. So a great chance to move my writing onwards by several chapters.

I know we've spoken before about working at your best time, and how tiny things can have a major impact on our lives. Well February is the shortest Moonth (comes from the moon cycle by the way...and not the sun) so in effect we only have 2 short weeks before the end of yet another milestone that makes up each year. Only 10 and a half months to go before 2007 comes to a close. Now you may decide that you have all the time in the world to do what you need to do, but in most cases it takes time to achieve those goals that you say you want to achieve. I can probably write a couple of thousand words a night, dieting - you can only lose a pound or two a week, exercise, you can only build your new shape by exercising on a regular basis for a considerable period of time. And so it is with everything.

So if you haven't attached deadlines and timelines to your goals, it's time to do so, otherwise another month will have passed by and you won't have moved very far at all. A word of advice, you can wait for someone to come along and give you a shove, or you can take steps to make the choices you need to make.
