I’m beginning to think that wisdom is eternal–it just gets dressed differently as time goes on.

For example:

• Confucious:  A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
• Wayne Gretzky: You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
• Julia Cameron: Artistic success consists of one simple step: show up at the page
• Houdini: Leap, and the net will appear.

Since the beginning of time, it seems we’ve know that the first step is the most important.

What I’m slowly starting to realize is that it need not be the hardest. The difficulties I had posting my first blog, and the other 2 today, were all made up in my head. In fact, almost every time in recent months I have hesitated in doing that which my heart knew was right for me was a result of my protective brain stepping in with fear based noise. The result has been over-complicating some simple decisions, and hesitating follwoing through on decisions already made.

That’s it. This is my public declaration that I’m going to listen to my gut more often.  Dot.Com it is! (inside joke)

Of course, the above can probably be summed up by another wise person:

“Think you can, or think you can’t. Either way, you’ll be right.” — Henry Ford

I believe I can make a meaningful contribution to the blogsphere, so I’m going to keep at it. Besides, now that I’ve finally gotten started, this blogging thing isn’t so bad.  

One last thought: what if I become addicted…?

(Ooops, there’s my mind trying to take me out of the game again. Thanks  for training me to catch this Harv!
