Agree with point number one whole heartedly just get the ball rolling each and every day whether you feel confident or not.
It’s the little consistent steps that matter each and every day. The story of the Tortoise and hare comes into mind. Plod along like the Tortoise and you will reach the finish line eventually.

Exactly what I needed to hear today. I felt like I was actually working towards my goals while in school and around like-minded people. This explains my desire to return to school. I am guilty of all 3. And knowing what my issues are is half of the solution. I will definitely be saving this to refer to each morning as I work towards my goals. Thank you!!!! 🙂

All of the messages in the 3 points really challenged me. This are my day to day challenges I have been fighting on without no one knowing. I am so thankful that you mastered this pieces together. Now I have just learnt that there is a way out for me. I am challenging myself now to master this approaches and and will make them become part of my daily habits.

Thank you sharing this masterful piece. Our Great Gon in Heaven will continue to guide you with his wisdom. Amen.

Life has to make sense first in order to manage ambiguous life events well.

A friend forwarded this to me and it both reinforced the changes I am making in my life, as well as giving me ideas for new ways to improve my life. Especially “change unhealthy environments”. I’m going through a divorce and I am seeing more and more that it was a necessary change: painful, but totally necessary for me to resume making progress.
Thank you!

The Big Thinking Paralysis has been my drawback from taking that initial move. Also this is also powerful –
“And along these very same lines, also remind yourself that big goals don’t make positive changes happen, small daily habits do.” My gratitude runs really deep.

I struggle with all three scenarios. It literally is like you were listening to a conversation I was having with myself – and you heard. Such great feelings: to be heard, validated, and understood! (Much better than feeling frustration, listening to my self-critic
and having helpless feelings about getting from A to B, much less
A to P.)

Especially timely is the environment scenario – relative to me, and also my husband. It has been a great source of pain (even suffering) between us as to what “our environment” at home looks like – literally and figuratively. The importance of “being responsible for making your good life choices” hits home big time also.

So, starting over – again – in “trying, learning and tweaking.”

Thank you for explaining how “just doing it” can naturally lead to progress and real change in our lives. That through failure, comes “another chance” (and maybe some enlightenment – if one is willing). That with small changes, new habits, and “doing things differently,” we can progress to real confidence, significant self-trust, yearned for satisfaction and a well-earned pride in ones’ self.

So very good to hear! Your message brings me hope!!

[And, much appreciation for reminding us to not beat ourselves up if we have done any or all of the scenarios identified, whether a lot or a little. Being kind to ourselves – and each other – is much more supportive and helpful.]

Thanks for all of your caring work and insights! Keep them coming … Love what you two are doing and sharing 🙂

The second one, Big Thinking Paralysis spoke to me. I have many creative ideas but can get bogged down by looking at the whole mountain instead of focusing on this step
Thank you. I find your posts encouraging and helpful.

Thank you!

I dedicated myself to translating this post into Spanish (with Google Translate corrected, since I do not speak English), for better personal reading and if it seems appropriate, I would forward it to your email

Thanks for posting these three mistakes. I seriously identify with them. Your post just gave the motivation to reinforce all three because I have already started the journey of starting a business venture. Thanks and keep up the support.
