Ideas

Life wastes itself while we are preparing to live. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you had one week left to live, would you still be doing what you’re doing now? In what areas of your life are you preparing to live? Take them off your To Do list and add them to a To Stop list. Resolve to only do what makes you come alive.
Bonus: How can your goals improve the present and not keep you in a perpetual “always something better” spiral?

I think I would be doing what I'm doing right now. I've been trying to get my life together in the first place so this isn't too far off. If anything I think I would quit stalling about starting my own business, be it as a dress maker, gift wrapper, or author. I think I would stop trying to prepare and just start doing. The hardest part honestly is choosing what to do. I think that is how I get stuck in this spiral. I keep my ideas so close to me, and I know that it will take life times that I don't have to do them, but I can't let them go. I can't just choose one. I think that is what I need to do. Choose the things that mean the most to me and let my others ideas go.
