Karilyn and I have started working on a new project. It’s beyond exciting to start making progress on something this much fun together! While now isn’t the time to discuss our project, I want to describe what we’re feeling.
When the right people come together to start something new, the air sizzles with possibility. I love seeing the pieces of a new project come into focus. I love brainstorming and exchanging ideas.
Especially when parts of our lives are stressful, it’s wonderful to focus on building something beautiful.
At the beginning of a project, I have no way of knowing how it’s going to turn out. Are we going to lose steam a few weeks or months after starting? Are we going to settle for something less than the initial dream? Are we going to push through all the obstacles that stand in our way?
It’s easy for me to be optimistic at the beginning of a project. The trick is to keep that optimism flowing as things get difficult.
Instead of fearing everything that might go wrong, I want to create a plan to mitigate certain foreseeable risks. We’ve been through this enough times to know some of the ways things fall apart. We can look ahead for signs of rough terrain.
And we can focus on the significant progress we achieve each week. The beauty of our dreams can propel us forward!
