"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” ~ C.S. Lewis
Some of you are aware I'm a participant in the artist business program "Artful Success" by Tonya Davidson and LOVING it.
I'm working the program as much as possible and already attaining goals that long since should have been completed; goals I set for myself a year ago and did not follow through.
I just can't say enough good things about the program, and I'm only 10 days into the work. I feel revived, supported, focused and grateful.
Just last week, I finished a task that had become a monkey on my back over the last year. I let it get so far gone, I simply did not know where to begin. I resisted it like someone was trying to force me eat something I hated - like pigs feet or liver! Now... it's done, it's off my back and my monkey and I have come to an understanding. I allowed the monkey to have that long, expensive ride, slowing me down on my path, hurting my back. When I was finished with my task, my Monkey patted me on the back and said, "Job well done; let's Party... I'll hold your hair back!" I answered, "Yeah, whatever Monkey; you were a big pain in the arse."
This weekend, I started on the next short-term goal on my list; setting up my Lookie-Lookie ETSY shop. For 6 months, I told myself I'd set it up soon; in this case, soon was relative, right?
There is still much work to do, goals to attain and new goals to set. I wasn't being so Daring lately. However, after a year of of procrastinating, I'm ready to pick up my Dream where I left it hanging, put it on my back and carry through - after all, I ditched the Monkey in Nashville.
What Monkey is on your back? Maybe you just need support or encouragement to be rid of it.
Much Love!
