When in doubt, just take the next right step...

It feels as though lately, I have SO many things to do, and want to do. I get overwhelmed super easy.

Like for instance, I have a stack of books on my night side table, and I look at them and get anxious. Why?!? I shouldn't feel that way. I LOVE books, and have since I was a child. It used to be the only way I could fall asleep. It's like part of me wishes I could clone myself, and I could read all of them at once. But then, where is the fun in that? Books are thought provoking. They are meant to be enjoyed, and savoured. They take me to another place. Gahhh, I know, I know, one page at a time, one book at a time.

I had been trying to figure out what to do for classes. I finally signed up for a class. BOOM. Very excited for that. By the time I start up again, it will have been nearly 2 months since I graduated. I certainly have felt the void. So that's another thing off of my list.

I have a HUGE list of movies and TV shows I want to see, but I know I'll get around to pinging those off of my list. I recently started watching "Mad Men". Wow, am I ever hooked on that show. Great writing, I absolutely LOVE the era. There are a few interesting twists and turns as well. Solid.

So with that happening, I also have been been battling back and forth lately, as to what direction I am actually heading in? But really, do I need to be going one specific way? I love to act, so I am going to continue with classes. I love to sing, and I'm looking at going back to lessons. I love to write, and try to do that everyday. I am also going to sign up to volunteer at the S.P.C.A. I started this process a while back, and never followed through. Animals are near and dear to me, and if I can't have an animal where I live, then I must be around them some other way.
Most recently, I have discovered, just how passionate I am about world events. Pretty much - just standing up for what I believe in. I even found myself on Langara's website today, looking at their "Peace and Conflict Studies" diploma. Good gravy! I'm like a neverending student!

But that is what life is all about, isn't it? Learning, growing, loving - Evolving.

I vow today, to never limit myself. Take it one moment at a time if I need to, and to never doubt myself. There is never one set plan. It can be changed and added to.
In a book I'm reading right now titled, "God Never Blinks - 50 lessons for Life's little detours", there is a chapter titled, "When in doubt, just take the next right step".  How true is that? The steps we take don't have to solve all of the future questions you are going to have, just take the next right step for YOU, for the moment.

Sigh. Ok. Lets do this!
