Living your Passions: One Step at a Time

Do the things you need to do when you need to do them, and eventually you can do the things you want to do when you want to do them – Zig Ziglar

In following up with some of my clients who have taken The Passion Test I hear comments like I know what my passions are and what I must do but I have too much on my plate right now or I’m frustrated, I don’t know what to do first. 

I know how my clients feel because my frustration at the moment is related to spending too much time in front of the computer and not being able to get out there and enjoy the summer.

What to do?  “Roman wasn’t built in a day” … yet we tend to want to do everything all at once. So what if it doesn’t ALL get done this week?  Will it really be such a catastrophe?  What’s the worst thing that can happen (it doesn’t usually happen anyway) if you don’t complete your WHOLE “To-Do” list? Can you handle it if the worst does happen? 

If the answer is yes, then step back and take just ONE important thing you have been putting off and commit to doing it this week. It’s much easier to do one thing … if you think about doing all 10, you’ll most likely not do any of them.  Eventually you will have completed all the steps and be able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor.  It’s a step-by-step process.
