Follow Through

Setting an intention is easy, but the follow through is where it lives. “Your word is your wand” is a phrase that lives rent free in my head, picked up from one of the many motivational self-help books I’ve read in this lifetime. Today I’d like to add “action” into that statement: “Your word plus your action is your wand”.

Writing something daily hasn’t been easy, but I’m doing it, and can already see the impact it’s had in the way I share notes with you, in my social media, and in the heavy digging I’ve been doing for my book. Practice makes better, it’s true.

My friend Paramatma gifted me this journaling prompt a few years ago, and I still rely on it when creating a vision for something I want to do and haven’t fully explored: Write down the dream, make it big, decorate it, give it a timeline, and write three small action steps you could take immediately to get it moving. It could be the simplest act, a baby step, but anything and everything counts.

A dream without a step is just an idea.
