It’s April! Already!! Second quarter of 2021. A new season. A new month. A new week. A new day!
New beginnings… new opportunities… new growth… new life? But where? How? With what? For who? …is what some of us are thinking. After all, current circumstances still very much reflect “life interrupted”.
Begin where you are, comes the piece of sage advice … but, what does that even mean?
Well, how about taking today for starters. What would you like to happen today? Pick one thing – don’t overthink it. If it’s a really big thing which needs more than one day to complete, pick an action related to it that you can do in one day – today.
For example, are you job hunting? That requires: job search, cover letters, CV, a computer, perhaps a printer, maybe an extra pair of eyes to help write or read over the CV and cover letter.
The point is to:
- Decide what you want – today
- Note what you already have that is useful for what you ultimately want (you definitely have something!)
- Identify what you need next and where you can get it
- Focus on that … give it your best effort
- Choose (REPEAT) 1-4 daily.
Start today, start where you are. Do it for this week, maybe the next week, or stick it out for the month. Reach out if you need some support or just want to share your experience.
