The Distance Between Dreams and Reality is Called Action

1/4/2017

It’s January, and I’m full of dreams and ambitions!  You may say, “Why bother”, or “It’s too hard to set goals.” To that, I will quote Mary Oliver and say, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” 

You see, I’m not just along for the ride.  I also want to be in the driver’s seat.  I want to create cool stuff, cultivate satisfying relationships and design great experiences.  Even if I run into obstacles, and I don’t accomplish all that I want to this year, I want to feel satisfied that I put energy into what’s most important to me.

This week, I’m re-reading The 12 Week Year by Brian Moran.  It’s a productivity book that I read twice already in 2016.  The book is designed to help anyone (you, me) take their goals and put them into actionable steps in a 12 week cycle.  As a dreamer and big idea person, it’s not an easy read for me because it is the kind of book asks me to pinpoint and clarify my dreams, to break them down into actionable steps, and to measure my results.  I tend to resist this because I’m not a numbers person, and I enjoy day-dreaming.  But I know what I want to do with my wild and precious life and I have figured out that dreams take planning.  This book  makes me show up for myself and put my dreams into action.  So, I’m re-reading it and I’m putting together my annual calendar of projects and my 12 week plan for the first quarter of the year.

What will you make come alive in 2017?  I'd love to hear your big and audacious goals!
