Planning Ahead

"If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I would spend six hours sharpening my ax."
Abraham Lincoln

Planning ahead.  So important.  I seem to be the type of person who can consider many options, and then implement them.  I have noticed in my years of practicing therapy that not all people can do the implementing part.  They talk, they dream, they vision -- but they do not take action.  Action is imperative.  I have also learned to honor my action modes.  They seem to come in waves, and I have learned to ride the wave when it comes.  I am in high-action mode:  cleaning out the garage, calling service people, giving things to good will.  Another layer of possessions dispersed.  Feels good.
