Food for Thought (#5)

Some thoughts on what and how

“We often make the mistake of thinking we have to know how to do something instead of thinking that we are going to do something. Intention creates direction. The what dictates the how.”
— Julia Cameron, Supplies

…

“That’s because my life and success have been more of an unfolding and an allowing than a “getting.” Some of the best things have happened unexpectedly because I deeply knew the what but I didn’t push the how.”
— Christine Kane

…

(and from this blog – Look Ma … I’m an Expert?)
This approach usually gives me permission to move from “whether” (or not) I should do something to “how” I could do it.

“[B]eing unstoppable is simply about taking the next step.” – Christine Kane

…

A year ago today, I published my first blog post (with no real idea what I was doing). A year later and I’m still blogging, still with no real idea what I’m doing *smile*, but with more discipline and a better idea of my blog’s personality.  

This blog is proof that moving forward is all about taking the next step.
(More on Monday!)

“Being able to sing good ain’t all about having a good singing voice a’tall. A good singing voice helps. But when you come up in the Hard Shell Baptist church like I did you understand early that the fellow that sings is the singer. Them that waits for programs and arrangements and letters from home is just good voices occupying body space.”

— Alice Walker,
from the short story “Nineteen Fivety-five,”
in the collection You Can’t Keep a Good Woman Down
