The beginning of January, when many people in the Western world turn their thoughts towards the success of last year's resolutions, and forming new ones for the fresh year.
A pair of quotes for both these occassion from people known for thinking - and taking action.
"When your dreams turn to dust, vacuum."
Desmond Tutu
"You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step."
Martin Luther King

m. - you have NO IDEA how timely that MLK quote is for me.
I'm attempting to start my first full-length novel (just the THOUGHT of keeping 90,000K of detail in my head makes me nauseous) and I'm so ridiculously scared to begin... in case I fail!!
So thanks -- that was the inspiration I need to get my butt in gear.
wylie - right back atcha. i'm so impressed you not only started but completed, not only completed but shopped, not only shopped but sold two pieces to a publisher.
me, i have no problem whatsoever in starting a huge, endlessly wordy piece - it's all those other steps on the ladder i have trouble with....
Both of those quotes are fantastic. I love the MLK one as well. One step in front of the other...
I like the Desmond Tutu one the best, maybe because I've resolved to clear away the chaff of my life this year.
What wonderful quotes! I love them both -- so inspirational. You're getting me all fired up! :)
christine, julia, thomma lynn - happy new year!
