What needs to be completed?

What have you been putting off?

What have you been dragging your feet on?

WHY??

So many ideas and not enough time to do them all. I find myself starting projects and getting real interested in a thought. I put all kinds of passion into it and allow it to take on a life. Then suddenly I find myself with a new idea, a new interest, and that old one goes on the pile never to be completed, to be brought to its full potential. URGH...

I end up feel guilty, lazy, unfocused. resentful that I must sleep and rest. What a crazy cycle...These days I am pausing before I step into a new idea and ask myself, how does this fit in? Is this more important, better, easier, than the last idea? Am I just drawn to the new, the birthing, the developing of ideas and less interested in making them happen. I have finally realized that the energy of developing a concept is pretty useless unless I am to bring it to life. What is the point of all these half baked ideas just sitting in a pile!!

It is when something comes to life, we are able to fully enjoy and be awed by the process of creation. When I am able to commit to starting and completing a work, is when I am truly fulfilled. I get to stretch myself in areas of creation that are hard for me. The implementation phase is always hard for me. I often view it as less fun, less challanging. Yet what I am finding myself having to do is to stretch into finding new ways to look at this phase.

When I am able to look at implementation as needing my creative skills and full passion, I am moved to action in new and more enjoyable ways. I have been working on bringing my creativity into all places of my life, even the production process...

It requires thinking, analyzing, and revision, that is so akin to the creation of a idea to begin with. It is clearly just a point of view that I can choose to shift into if I truly want my ideas to come to life.

So today I will keep the commitments I have made to several current projects and allow the new ideas to sit and wait their turn.

So what needs to be completed? And what needs to wait in your life?
