Thinking Turned Into Doing
More Action More Progress
It is one thing to think of something we want to do
Then it is another thing to create the movement to get it done
In our minds, we create the thought
Then we have to go far beyond this idea
Sometimes it is scary
No different than a Halloween night
Where we don't know what to expect
Each time we turn around we find the unknown
Then it also can be very pleasant
Seeing are steps on something we just dreamed up
Minutes ago come into existence
Fulfilling a promise to ourselves
Rewarding and satisfying
Then we least expect it
Boom
It was like a hammer was suddenly dropped
Our plans get a hole in them
Like a kite once flying high
Now torn and ripped
Starting to shake and lose altitude
Within seconds it could crash right to the ground
Destroying what we have worked so hard for
Breaking our hopes and dreams
Crushing our spirits
It is a race against ourselves
To fix the problem
Make any corrections needed
The quicker we get flying again
The better off we will be
The longer we wait
The harder it is to return
Self-doubt takes over
It is easy to listen to other people's negativity
It crawls under our skin
Like a rash that spreads over our body
Red blotches we never saw the likes before
Instantly changing every thought going forward
We can stop there
Nobody would blame us
The best idea is to take time and rethink
Ask yourself a series of questions?
Pretend you are being asked by a lawyer in a court of law
So you are under oath
To answer each question honestly and to the best of your ability
What is it we want?
How do we accomplish that goal?
What did we do wrong?
How do we fix it and move past our minor setback?
Can we accept the truth?
The problems we face are not really the catastrophe that we first thought
We might of over-exaggerated and got overwhelmed when it happened
We were caught off guard
There is no reason to let this or any problem stand in our way
It might take time
We might need to study and find out some new knowledge
Ask for help
Try different ideas
Each idea you try
Don't forget to write it down
So if this idea also fails
We have proof of a new approach
A different way
Each time we try
We keep a book of all our efforts
It is easy to forget this important step
We have to strive for positivity
We think we can have it all in our brain
This time writing feels like it slows us down
Actually it speeds up progress and keeps a careful
An accurate account of our plans and how they unfold
What we think happened and what happens as it happens
Are two different things
There could be other issues that we did not see
Other failures that lead to one big mess
Don't get frustrated and aggravated
Get excited that we have gone this far
Give yourself a real treat
Maybe stop and celebrate
I do it with food
A piece of something I love
It might be an apple or opening up a can of fruit cocktail
I try to get something healthy
There are times I will reach for something sweet
Then I do love a nice head scratch or shoulder rub
I went one step farther
I have my own massage chair
Where I can let my troubles melt away
At least for the moment
It is easy to get sidetracked and not come back
I close my eyes and let my mind go blank
It is not long before
Ideas start popping in my head again
Like ant holes in the ground
You see one then before you know it
There are ten and three more the next day
Here is one way that worked for me
So continue on and see how far it will take you
You can accomplish so much
There are no limits
No matter how far you go
Remember where you came from
If you are like me
Dreams make me happy
They solve problems and also create new ones
It is not an easy road to follow
Well worth it if we can finish what we started
Good luck and let me know of your progress
If you want I can tell you of my highs and lows
I am more like a yo-yo
I keep at it
Stopping every so often to rest
Then back at it
Here is an idea for you
Wouldn't it be nice
If we had an automatic yo-yo
Just press it and it would go
Life doesn't always work the way we expected
For me it hardly ever does
