Do you really need to start with a Grand Gesture?

“You just have to keep on doing what you do. It’s the lesson I get from my husband; he just says, Keep going. Start by starting.”~ Meryl Streep

Is there something you really want to do? Is there a dream or a goal, a vision you hold for the future?

Maybe you want to be a published writer, maybe you want to be a healer, or an architect, maybe you’d like to be lean and toned, or perhaps your dream is to travel through France, speaking fluent french and soaking up the lifestyle…

Well, my advice is this: don’t wait for things to be perfect, start small, but most importantly just get started!

I see so many people fail to take off because they put too much effort into a grand gesture – letting the world know that they are here, talking things up, making things look good – and not enough effort into actually doing the thing.

If you want to be a healer, just start.  Maybe you need to do a course.  Or maybe you’ve done the course, and now you need to work with people. You don’t need fancy business cards and a room in some swank practice. Just start where you are. In your home. At a friend’s. Let it grow organically.

Do you really need to spend thousands of dollars on a flash new computer and all the latest software in order to write your best-selling first novel? Perhaps the old computer, a notebook and a pen, and a good back-up system will work fine for now.

No matter what your dream, a grand gesture is not needed. In fact, that grand gesture may steal so much enthusiasm and momentum from you, or so overwhelm and intimidate you that you never really begin.

Almost every great business, every victory or success, started from humble beginnings. Don’t be afraid to start small.  The only thing that matters is that you are brave enough to begin! The Universe inspired YOU for a reason. So why not start? Who knows where this might take you. And when you start small, there’s no pressure. Instead there is possibility, stretching far out in front of you…

I’m standing on the sideline, cheering you on. Bless ♥♥♥
