June 1, 2011. Happy New Year!! (For me anyway....) Today officially begins my New Year 2011. I figure I've got seven good months to make up for lost time.
I had so many plans for the New Year last January. I had a to-do list of aspirations that included getting my health in optimal condition, (and lining up health insurance), getting our home de-cluttered, and somehow balancing my creative life with my "job" of selling real estate. I was having trouble getting motivated though, and finally, in late February, I decided that my new year would officially begin on March 1, 2011. I was doing quite well for five days, until March 6th, when I fell and broke my femur!

Now, 12 1/2 weeks later, I'm walking again (still with the help of a cane). I've been out of sync and out of commission--literally, since my employment is commission based--for quite some time. As my friend, Vickie said, "I've been incubating." Well, the hell with "incubating," I need to start hatching!! I never did get that health insurance lined up, and I've got hospital bills to pay!
Thank God I was able to call another friend for emotional support. A conversation with my good friend, Arita Trahan, was the perfect medicine to quell my squirrel mind. She told me that I don't need to get "motivated", I just need to be inspired. She said, "if you feel inspired, do it! If you don't feel inspired, don't do it!" She told me to "follow the fun", to think about what I really enjoy about selling real estate and do that. She said if I just "follow the fun", all my good will come to me, people will want to work with me, and the money will follow. OMG, I love this!
After listening to Arita, I decided my New Year 2011 will officially begin on June 1st. And my New Year's Aspirations are as follows:
Follow the Fun
Do What Inspires Me
Follow the Fun
Do What Inspires Me
Follow the Fun
Happy New Year!

I won't argue with that! Whoever this Arita is, she's kinda "out there"!
ReplyDeleteLife is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. (John Lennon)-- I think about this quote daily, and at one point I heard that Neitszche was who originally said it. But I just looked it up and it's Lennon. Anyway, follow the fun!
ReplyDeleteyeah, I couldn't believe it was Lennon either...And I need to make this quote my daily mantra! thanks, Arita for your quote, "Follow the Fun!"
ReplyDeleteSo you DO talk on the phone! I thought so....hmmm. I guess I could leave another message.
