Do Something Different today. It is said that we are creatures of habit. We have our routines which we do day in and day out: 6:45am wake up. 8:00am catch bus… and on and on and on… You know the routine, wake up, go to work, come home, eat, watch television and go to sleep… just to wake up to the same a few hours later.
As some of you already know, We’re working on a Audio CD of my book, Transition: Breaking Through the Barriers. The first volume has been compiled and is in the process of being mixed. It’s been an interesting journey. It took me ten years to write my book and a year to get it published. As a new author, I figured the hardest work was now behind me - but this was not the case. It seems to take even more energy to promote the book and re-purpose its message into multiple formats for the different ways people learn.
Are you a talker?
I realize that one of my greatest strengths is also one of my greatest weaknesses. I am a talker who communicates through verbal and written formats (and others). My mind is often brimming with ideas and I can talk about them and write about them… till my voice is hoarse and my hand aches - but actually DOING SOMETHING - putting my ideas to task… now that’s my weakness. But I’m learning to overcome it by being determined and focused.
What about you? Are you a talker more than a doer? How can you move towards actually getting things done?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT CASCADE MEANS? If you have a few minutes, allow me to share a short definition and personal story with you. As you and I pursue our God-given dreams and purpose, we need to be aware of the pitfalls that stand to derail us so that they can either be avoided or overcome.
THE DEFINITION
Cas-cade: (noun) It is a chemical or physiological process that occurs in successive stages, each of which is dependent on the preceding one, and often producing a cumulative effect.
