It seems like each of us has at least a small tendency towards procrastination: we wait for reasurrance, after I finish the next project, when I retire, after the children are out of school, as soon as I get my degree, etc., etc.

Sometimes we unintentionally trap ourselves in our own version of the movie "Groundhog's Day." Each day becomes similiar to the day before. We need to create a plan of action and dare to set goals. That doesn't mean they need to be set in stone, hardly. Constant, unexpected changes in our lives are a given. As John Lennon once said, "Life is what happens when you are making other plans."

I set goals for myself. I formulate a direction and timetable BUT I allow myself to be easily distracted. If given the opportunity to explore, enjoy an adventure, or share time with someone that becomes my priority. My biggest obstacle between my dreams and goals is me. With renewed dedication I will get out of my own way.

May your goals and dreams become realities. I wish you a clear plan of action that will help you avoid the repetition of "Groundhog's Day."
