D is for Do
Do or do not, there is no try
~Yoda
.....so, in my last post I introduced the 33 project. This is going to be harder than I thought. So many decisions. Although I really do wear basically the same outfits over and over...I like having the option of maybe wearing something different. Besides, I whined to myself as I stood in my closet, summer is finally here....I love love love sundresses. Could I really cut my collection of dresses down to just a few? And then there are the shoes; leopard print flats, heels, sandals...oh my! This is going to take discipline.
In the only Star Wars trilogy that matters*, Yoda made it clear you just have to set your mind to a task.
No wobbling in the noggin,
get rid of the wishy washy weak stuff and
Just Do It.
1. Decide - what change do you want to make - and Write it Down
2. Determine how - break it down into baby steps
3. Drop - cut less important things to make room for the change (edit)
4. Do - let Yoda lead the way
5. Dance! (rinse and repeat) in other words, do it again. Decide another area to tackle and DO IT.
*the only Star Wars that matters....I am NOT a fan of the "new" Star Wars....Anakin makes me want to throw things..."don't go to the dark side stupid, don't do it....."
I'm a perpetual fence walker and my catch phrase is "I'll try." You and Yoda are right. There's no time to be wishy washy. I'm either going to Do something or not. I choose the former.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pep talk and the steps to make the goal a reality. I really needed it. I've been struggling to finish my short story. I will finish the rough draft today!
Yeah Laura! The pep talk was aimed at my own lame "attempts" ...time to DO something!
ReplyDeleteLove Yoda. Not so sure I'll change my bad habits but love the pep talk anyway.

I'm taking your 5 steps to heart. They'll come in handy for a few changes I want/need to make--no wardrobe ones, but no matter the undertaking, the steps remain the same. :O)
