Hello and welcome to beautiful Inspire With Hope.

Not 'I need', instead 'I want' or, How to get things done, changing your perspective

My last entry was a super long one and I'm still mulling over the ideas I expressed there. So, just a little entry today.

Following extensive reading from a variety of sources I've realised that the only way to 'make' myself do some things is to change my perception of whatever needs to be done.

I need to really want to do it.

Sometimes it's easy, I just focus on the consequences and I'll realise that really I do want to do whatever it is. But for more challenging things that I'm resistant to doing because I fear failing or because I fear succeeding, it's much more difficult.

I think I need to think of creative ways of doing this. I want to get more creative with ways of doing this because I love being creative, I love achieving things and I love solving my problems, so that's not an issue.

Hmm, interesting. *Goes off to think some more*

[...] Kathleen Bright: Not ‘I need', instead ‘I want' or, How to get things done, changing your perspective. Don't forget to focus on how much you want to do what you need to do. If you're prone to procrastination, get as much help as you can, including changing the way you think about your goals. [...]

Here is how I found "All Things Bright" is because my perception of what I need and what I want are the same thing but after reading this article it makes me want to change my perspective, but I dont know how to get things done it is because I do mull things over a lot and maybe I do procrastinate.
