If I could...

If I could...I have started this post a few times. I keep deleting what I write because it's just an excuse. I can. I just have to put more energy into it. I have to dedicate more time and resources. I have to think about what needs to be done. And then do it.

I want to get the Landmine Museum and Relief centre the truck they need to transport the kids, and I can, I just need to dedicate some time to the fund raising.
I want to help kids struggling with anxiety and depression - I see them everywhere - in the playground, neighbourhood kids, anecdotally in the newspaper. And I can, I just need to work out the cause of this avalanche of misery that we've created in the younger generation.
If I could, I'd write more. I can, but I need to be better at time management. Maybe use a dictaphone in the car or something?
If I could, I'd travel more. I need to stop wasting money, I need to make the most of the holidays.

If I could is an excuse. I think that's why I found it so hard to write a post on it. I knew I was kidding myself.

I can. I just need to....

  2. We need several lifetimes to achieve our goals don’t we. I always have to apply the brakes to cut down these desires or else I’d stress out trying to achieve them all.

  7. There's so much that gets in the way of achieving what we would like to do, but baby steps and a passion to succeed will get you there (or thereabouts) in no time at all. Thanks for joining us for the #dreamteam

  9. Oh I hear you on this. There are so many things I wish I could do or I could do better, but I take peace that I get done what I need to each day. There is something that needs to be said for intentional living though too. Turning I could into I did because plans were put in place to do so. I think it comes down to discipline and living in a world where so much demands our immediate time and attention.
