Knowing what to do

By Philip Dodson

Often we are unsure of what to do.

We umm and argh about what might be the solution.

The thing is there is not one answer, so perhaps it is not worth the worry about what choice to make. Anyone might work.

Perhaps it is better to just do something without too much thought, then get even better next time if it doesn’t bring the outcome we’d hope for.

Imagine if we took a lifetime of energy that we can end up wasting on indecision and applied it to action instead. What could we all achieve?

It’ll be the same next year

We get towards year ends and not only does that mean endless Facebook ‘My Year in Review’ posts but it also means we’ll say to ourselves ‘2018, it’s going to be a great year!!!’ then at the end 2018 we’ll say ‘well, this year didn’t quite go to plan, but 2019, it’s going to be a great year!!’ and then, the same cycle repeats.

It only changes when we take action to make the next year great. But the problem with making the ‘next year’ great, is a year is too big a time frame and the end of it is too far away to seem urgent enough.

What if we said ‘January 2018 is going to be a great month!!’? All of sudden it’s immediate and there is nowhere to hide.
