Rollin Rollin Rollin

I want to take a moment to thank this blog for the encouragement (and ideas it allowed me to come up with) from yesterday's conversation. It seems to have been a starting point of sorts to moving forward instead of just sitting still.

It's not that I have been doing a lot of nothing lately, (though it's close), what I have been doing is just going through the motions of sorts. You know, show up at the day job, do what I can to help them become all they can be. Do things for others that assist them in moving forward or accomplishing more of their stuff.

At home, it's the yard work, the shopping, the straightening, the washing, the ironing (every morning), and on weekends, making of the bed. (I still don't really understand that one all of the time). At night, when I have the time, the energy and the ability to get something going, I sit more often than I care to admit and do a lot of less than effective stuff.

But after the conversation in this blog yesterday, and the blog post I wrote this morning on my MySpace blog, things are looking up. I have more of an "urge" if you will to type more, write more, create more, make something useful, contribute more to my own things as well as what will benefit others in the process.

Well, that and reading Al "The Real GoalGetter" Smith's comments on yesterday's post, have me thinking a bit more, doing more and wanting to get something accomplished more than just sitting on the couch and doing stuff for the sake of doing stuff.

So my question for you is this.....

What does it take to inspire you? What needs to take place for you to stop DOING "stuff" and start ACCOMPLISHING stuff?

P.S. I bought Al's Hidden Power of Goal Setting. I haven't MADE the time to read it yet. (you know, day job and all - Though goal setting for things on the job could benefit that as well). From the amount of stuff included with the downloads, this will indeed be well worth the cost. Now to read it, listen to it, and put it to use.

I'll let ya know how it goes.
