"If I create from the heart, Nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing." ~Marc Chagall
I set goals but never accomplish them. I think about things,analyze them, roll ideas around in my mind and over my tongue while thinking them outloud. I write them down in lists on my mirror, in my journal, on the bottom of my shoe..sticky notes everywhere. 'Don't forget...' and 'you should do this' kind of lists. I resolve to do them but never do. Or perhaps I'll do one out of the list of twenty things. I've learned that by making these lists I've just wasted a lot of paper, time, energy. I either accomplish nothing or very little. My art teacher in High School, James Rees, told me that I should forget all else but the item at hand. Forget the names of colors if necessary and just focus on one thing...and DO the one thing. I've learned nothing. I'm back to the post it notes and mirror messages. I'm back to itemizing and lists of things that I'll never do..goals I'll never accomplish. At least I know that I'm stuck in a cycle. I'm navigating my way through "do now" instead of "writing it downs" just to return to the same path again. I learn something new each time though. I learn how better to put aside the post it notes. I become better at doing things right then and there instead of waiting for a "better" time. That's what it's about, isn't it.
