Pink + Coffee = Happy
Do you have days where you get confirmation on something on your mind- isn't that the coolest?
I'm sharing my personal confirmation with you! This isn't the blog post I was going to post but I think somebody else needs to here this.
This morning I was thinking about a lunch I had with a colleague yesterday. We are sharing ideas and working on some plans and I'm excited and nervous.
Excited because I love possibility and this opportunity takes what I do well and a people group who I know well and creates a solution to a problem.
Nervous because I have a history of impulsively jumping into things and falling (insert the sound "splat" here) on my face.
Anybody? Anybody? Anybody?
As I spent some time thinking and writing this morning about planning and waiting and working and my history of splats, something came to me....
"Do what you can with what you have. Work with the hand right in front of you."
I don't know about you but sometimes my dreams get away from me. I can see far into the future of what I want to do and it seems so very daunting. It seems so daunting that I do absolutely nothing. Paralysis by analysis.
But we aren't asked to be responsible for what is way, far, out there in the future. We are responsible for what is right here. right now.
Then, I'm listening to one of my favorite creative women in the blogosphere: Monica Lee. And in her short video she says almost the same thing. I almost cried. (But I didn't because I was in Starbucks and that would have been SO awkward!) You can watch the video here.
And I could write this off as a coincidence but I'm not going to. I'm going to believe it was something meant for me and I'm going to put a plan into action and work steadily towards a goal.
Today there are possibilities.
Today there is something in my hand and in your hand.
What will we do with what we have: our time, our talents, our gifts, our resources?
Remember....somebody needs you to shine! Shine on.
