Keep It Simple, Sweetie.

The transition back to the Austin Homestead feels complete. I am beginning to feel the need for other projects. Again, my morning meditation readers provided a healthy chew for the need. Yes, folks. Another "Courage to Change" share.

"How often have I had a dream I longed to pursue, but quit before I started because it seemed too enormous a task to attempt? Going back to school, moving, taking a trip, changing jobs, all these and many other goals can seem overwhelming at first.

I remind myself to "Keep it Simple." Instead of approaching the task as a whole, I can simplify it by taking only one step at a time. I can gather information -and do nothing more. Then, when I'm ready (if ever), I can take the project further. That takes some pressure off having to know all the answers and solve every problem that may arise before I've even begun.

I am also free to try something and then change my mind. I do not have to make a lifetime commitment before I even know whether or not my goal is desirable.

My plans may involve many actions and many risks, but I don't have to tackle them all today. I can take my time and move step by step at my own pace. By focusing on one thing at a time, the impossible can become likely if I "Keep It Simple."

Of course, if I am going to take my river runs to the water instead of staying on the banks like I have been...
