Baby Steps...

I have long learnt that I have to do something first
before I can receive
and that often means putting myself on the line
"Doing" is risky business...
We have to step out in faith...
We have to act on our belief...

I write everything down
But I have found that a written plan is worthless
unless I act upon it
It is only when I take action that I see and experience results...

All we need to do is take that first baby step...

A New Day...

Very often I find myself holding on very tightly
to what I have and I probably miss out on
some great opportunities for growth...

I find evidence of this in so many areas of my life
I hold onto a bad habit knowing full well that it is bad for me
I experience the negative effects
but I continue doing nothing about it

Sometimes I will make a half hearted attempt to change or to stop...
but I never really put my all into tackling the situation
In theory I know all the answers
I know exactly what steps I should take
But somehow I just never get it right...

There is however hope for me
because today is a new day
and I still have breath in me
and another day to try once more...
