I rediscovered a book last night, one that I'd read during the time I was laid off. I'd been so impressed by it that I'd bought a copy. The title is "The Practical Dreamer's Handbook" by Paul and Sarah Edwards. It's a book about how to turn your dreams into reality. Their big dream is to move to Pine Mountain. (One of the folks on David Allen's team, maybe Jason Womack, also lives in that area.)
At any rate, this made me think that just maybe most of who we really are winds up on the someday/maybe list. That's really the life we'd like to lead. The stuff on our daily list is the stuff we do to fund our current lives. Maybe, we should be spending a bit more time in that someday/maybe list, turning those items into our daily list and getting rid of many of the things that seem to be so important today.

It's obviously possible. But most of us don't work towards that goal, only focusing on the here and now, and not looking and focusing on our direction of the future.

We are the result of our choices and paths we've taken in the past. If we want to go towards a particular direction, we have to set the goal and every day, refine our actions to go to that direction. Easier said than done, but that comes from reading many motivational and self help books.

I just added a piece about this on another blog I write for FitAndEffective. It's fascinating, I've found, that a thought can often set actions in motion that build over time.

In a lot of the coaching I've done (also, over at StudentsWhoSucceed), we find that to start with the kinesthetic THEN move to the mental is a great way to get people moving on their goals and objectives. JasonWomack, at 8:07 AM
