Start Today

Start today.  Whatever it is.  Whatever you want.  Start today working toward your goal.  You don't have to wait until the New Year.  You don't have to wait until Monday.  You don't have to wait until the beginning or the ending of anything.  If you want it, start today.

Personally, I've been slacking on my work.  If you've followed along on my Sunday Update posts, you'll see that I have done much of anything (except marketing) for a while now.  My book notes have been sitting here next to me all that time, untouched and ignored.  I started last night.  I sat down here after dinner and opened the manuscript.  I read a little bit of it to get back in the groove and then I got back to work.  

Start today.  Every day.  So what if I started last night?  I'll start today, too.  Every new day is an opportunity to start again.  Last night, I started back to editing.  Today, I'll start making this two days in a row.  Tomorrow, I'll start making it a habit.  

I also need to start exercising again.  I'll get back to my 'do something active everyday' starting today.  Even if I just ride the bike for 5 minutes, it'll be a start.  

There's nothing stopping you.  Or me.  Or any of us.  

What are you starting today?

  1. Excellent advice. I'm going to try to follow it. Also, this needs to be a motivational meme:
    "Every new day is an opportunity to start again."

    Just sayin'...

    Good luck with your starts. Getting started is on my agenda right after I finish this cup of coffee. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Have a great weekend. 😉
