Announce it when you’re done

Glacier National Park (GNP).

Character is the ability to carry out a worthy decision after the emotion of making that decision has passed.

Hyrum Smith

There’s a sense of accomplishment simply from announcing you are going to do something, like write a book. Announcing is a procrastinator’s miracle drug. Nothing has been accomplished but it feels like a big step has been made. Keep it to yourself and do the work first, then announce your results.

Great things never begin with the bliss of certainty.

Blogging here is going to become more interesting in the coming days, weeks, and months.

Why?

Because today marks the official call to begin the official process.

Incredible what attitude contributes to making dreams come true.

Incredible, also, how fragile attitude can be when fear raises it’s ugly head and says, “This might not work. Be careful.”
