Today is my sister Cindy's birthday. It seems like yesterday we were children skipping around the coffee table on Easter morning with our Easter baskets in hand (we have some unusual family traditions). Time passes much quicker than we expect. Except, perhaps, when it comes to our goals and dreams.
It sometimes seems like time stands still when it comes to things we desire. We often don't know in which direction to turn or what to do next. But the truth is, you do know. You simply think of what you want to accomplish and do it. If you focused on what you wanted and sought to accomplish it, your life would change.
The founder of Southwest Airlines, Herb Kelleher, said the secret of his and his airline's success was just "doing things." He started from a plan on a napkin and built one of the most profitable and successful airlines in history by doing things that crossed his mind. He acted on what he wanted and his dream came true.
So, when time seems to stand still in the accomplishment of your goals, take a minute and think. Then, do what you already know you should do. It is subjective and personal and don't let others talk you out of it. There is real power in action and momentum.
"He who every morning plans the transaction of the day, and follows out that plan, carries on a thread which will guide him through the labyrinth of the most busy life."-Hugh Blair
