It may feel like there are no choices, or like it's difficult to make one. So, just do. Step forward. And move on. The only approval you need is your own.

Let's talk about levels, shall we?
This reading was about projects, for me. On two levels.
The first, I'm doing that wonderful budgeting thing, which required me to get all my financial information in one place. (I switched bookkeeping methods halfway through the year because I like the way Quickbooks does bank reconciliations.) Of course, I thought this would be a relatively easy process, being as I love numbers and playing with spreadsheets.
Half way through the day and I'm not even half way through the project... I can either quit or keep going. But (she shrugs) there is no other way to get the information together the way I want it. Therefore, through is the only way out.
Concurrently, a project was underway in the household to fix a leaking shower. One of THOSE projects, where one starts with expectations of replacing a difficult to reach washer and ends up tearing a hole in the wall to replace a broken pipe. (Happily, the person doing the actual work was able to DO the actual work.)
But, halfway through the day, in the middle of the project, I can imagine there was a moment of "well, I can either quit, or keep going." My bladder and my greasy hair are thankful he kept going!
And as I was washing my hair (not in the just repaired, the caulk must dry shower, thank you) I wondered... are all projects like that? You start with an expectation of fulfilling an idea and then you end up in the middle of this big mess and the only way to get anything done is to keep going? From yard projects to planning events to city construction to country laws. Things that sound great in the idea stage can become unwieldy half way through.
But the only way to make it through and make improvements is to start and see what works and what doesn't.
So.
I hope you have a great day!
