Keeping Promises and Getting to Done!

June 15, 2008 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings


Several things pushed themselves to the front of my awareness today, unbidden but persistant :-

  • The delicious irony in the title of this blog – Musings and Manifestations. At present there is too much musing, not enough Manifestation and a subtle straying from the original intent to share my journey to Abundance. My exploration of “The Road Less Travelled” has somehow led to a comforable cul-de-sac of suburban mediocrity instead of the succession of scintillating dinner parties and starring roles.
  • Then a post in my friend’s blog. I too am tired of honoring all promises made except those to myself. Why am I the last on my life-list, when everyone’s knows you can’t pour from an empty pitcher?
  • And, a few days ago, a personal call from my millionaire mentor/sponsor, the woman I most want to emulate, following an email admission that my candle business has lost momentum and is very close to needing the commercial equivalent of CPR.

I want to be the woman who “has done” rather than the one that “dreams of doing”. While I am aware that my life resume is already full of admirable adventures, heading toward my 45th birthday I feel a pressing need to make each moment count, to channel my inner Auntie Mame (my favorite role and inspirational character) and Open a New Window every day.

So enough Musing – Today I will Manifest! I will step off the smooth-trodden asphalt of the freeway to Ordinaryville and back onto the cobbled, pot-holed twisting road taken by the few who reach Abundance.

This week, Today, Right now, I will take my To Do list by the scruff of the neck and get to Done.
