"You can do all the planing you want, but if you don't take action, all your planning will be in vain and nothing you do will flourish."
I often make plans. I am a huge planner. My personality requires me to plan ahead if I am going to be a happy camper. Usually, I also take action. I like to see my To-Do list get accomplished...it lifts a huge weight off my shoulders. However, there are certain tasks that I plan and plan and plan for but nothing gets done. I may think I have run out of time, but in reality I have time to do those things I have planned months for. For instance, I have planned and planned for several scrapbook pages that I have yet to sit down and "scrap"! It's just silly. What do you plan and plan and plan for yet don't accomplish or even take action towards?
Ha! I'm like that alot with quilting :) I spend hours and hours pouring over quilt magazines, I even buy fabric and other tools necessary to quilt, but... hmmmm... no quilt :) I did realise though that I think it's because I'm trying to teach myself and I'm intimidated by the next step in the process. Recently I watched some videos on You Tube about quilting and saw how to do what I had previously only been able to read about, and all of a sudden I was anxious to do it and really did it. So, what's my point...?? I think it's that I think I'm learning that for me anyway when I don't take action after planning there is a reason. I just have to ask myself what the reason is instead of feeling guilty for not doing it :) Yeah... another plan!
