Several weeks ago I received a free phone wallpaper whenI signed for a course or a class. I downloaded it and it became my new phone wallpaper. It’s September 4, and it’s still there. I see it every day and it motivates me. Just start. A very small sentence but there’s so much positive power there. I look at these words countless times a day…whenever I get my phone to answer a call, send/read email, make a list, print a document or photograph I’ve taken, listen to a book or music or podcast, any number of things. If you’re like me, you phone is your on the go computer.
Those two words -JUST START- remind me every day to stop making excuses, stop overthinking, stop making plans, and simple START! It doesn’t matter what it is…JUST START! It doesn’t need to be perfect or even beautiful…and I’m learning that messy can actually become something really great-special, but you have to start. You have to stop thinking about , planning to do someday, and JUST START. I’m so thankful for Anne Lafollette and the gift of this free phone wallpaper. These words are changing the my way of thinking.
If you’re anything like me, time has a way of getting away from me almost faster than I can find it! And this very small thought-JUST START- reminds me that I do have time if I just start. Early mornings with my hot tea and my sketchbook or my photos and tracing paper, my watercolor paints or markers making marks or whatever comes to mind, my sewing machine and my new love…quilting…these moments are becoming my favorite part of my day. Whatever it is that lights you up inside…there is always time to make it happen…but you MUST START.
