Dreams, Action Items, Derailed by Hillary Clinton?! (Day 6)

Sometimes you just need to dream big. Other times, you just need to take action. My assignment today was two-fold:

Make a list of dreams, no matter how big, outrageous, or unthinkable they may be.
Make a list of tasks – no matter how mundane – that I need to do, but never get around to doing.

List number one is fun.  Thankfully, after making list number two in my handy notebook, I wasn’t actually required to follow through on these action items.   Today just wasn’t that good of a day.

Hillary Clinton answers the tough questions while giving me an excuse to procrastinate.

First off, I admit that I broke my no television pledge today by watching about three hours (out of five) of Hillary Clinton’s testimony before Congress.

Secondly, I had a pretty nasty headache that has finally gone away.  No, the headache had nothing to do with Hillary Clinton (or Congress for that matter). 

Third of all, I was more than a little frustrated with how yesterday’s results were.  I decided that I needed to take a step away and recharge for the day.  What I have to remember is that even though yesterday’s step forward was smaller than I would have liked, it was still a step forward.

Obviously, there is no way to work 12 hours a day, every day for a year.  That wouldn’t be healthy.  It would be nuts.  Yes, I have plenty of dreams and action items to work on and toward, but sometimes the most important action item is to take a step back and regroup.

Tomorrow is a new day.  I won’t have Hillary Clinton or Congress to blame for my own inaction. Instead, I will go into tomorrow equipped with my dreams and a to do list of action items.  Most importantly, I will come ready to take another step forward!
