I want it all now. It all does not exist now. I am creating it. So have it all, create it all, but spread over time.
Small example, running. I have better than doubled my comfortable running distance in six weeks, admittedly from a modest base. This has been accomplished with a defined schedule and program of running: this much, when, no more. I will get to half-marathon distance by the end of August/early September with ease.
I have business plans. They have a three year horizon on them. I cannot accomplish those goals as well as meet my other commitments now but I can in three years.
Three years for a reason: that’s the remaining term on the lease and the IT contract.
Plan because I have wanted to do this and I think it will work. Not in a grandiose way, but good enough.
Accomplishing this goal will be easy with the same methodical approach I am taking to the half-marathon training. The fact that I am up early this morning tells me how to do it and when. I don’t have a sustainable system but I have a clue on what it looks like. And a vision of what fully fleshed-out will look like.
It is still dark outside. I can hear the street sweeper truck a few blocks away: it’s loud. The day begins.
