Following My Dreams

I never know what will make an impact.  Friday is the James Clear email day.  It seemed to arrive early today.  I am glad it did.  It contained this.
"Two is twice as good as one, but one is infinitely better than zero….
Sure, it might be ideal to spend an hour doing … things, but one minute gets you in the game. Now you're learning. Now you're improving. Now results are possible. One doesn't seem like much, but it's something real. At zero, you're still dreaming."
I found that very applicable.  It is my thinking that zero is dreaming but one is doing.
I very much feel there is a time to dream.  A time to imagine the possibilities of something I would like to do.  Not dreams that lead to destruction, but dreams that lead to liberty.  Also not as the cartoon I recently put on Facebook, dreams that justify napping.  But dreams that lead me to engage in what is good for me and others.
But dreams alone remain alone.  I am totally for dreams that lead to positive actions.  And that is where one comes in.
So often I can set the bar too high.  I have done it in the past and been discouraged.  I have changed my ways and am really enjoying the new way of doing things.  It is not making unrealistic demands on myself but doing something as opposed to nothing.  Too often I have tried and seen others totally give up on something only because the demands were too difficult.
So what came today reinforces what I feel.  To do something is better than to do nothing.  To do minimal inspires me to do more.  That has been the thing for me.  Doing a little of what I want to do I tend to do more.  It is born not of obligation but of desire.
It is funny when I have plans to do something around the place, I write it down giving myself a certain time.  I know it actually may take more time, but it is making the start that matters.  Inspiration comes with doing and not just dreaming.  If I do no more than the time allocated, it is infinitely better in my mind than to have done nothing.
Anyway this email has been a good thing.  As it says, I feel like I am in the game.
