 | I caught myself with this defeatist attitude this morning when I wrote on my blog the first three lines of whatever you want to call this. So I was inspired to think about the mind set that really never gets anyone anywhere. |  | This post has been awarded 20 stars by 6 readers. |
I have 3 million things to do today.
"So why aren't you doing them?" you ask.
"Because," I say, "my mind is numb."
I have 3 million things to do today. Where do I begin?
"Why don't you begin at the beginning?" you ask.
"Because," I say, "I must finish the end first."
I have 3 million things to do today. When am I going to have time for fun?
"Why don't you make your tasks fun?" you ask.
"Because," I say, "there's no way these jobs can be fun."
I have 3 million things to do today. Who's going to help me?
"Why do you need someone to help you?" you ask.
"Because," I say, "I can't do all this by myself!"
I have 3 million things to do today. What if I can't do them all?
"Why don't you just try?" you ask.
"Because," I say, "I might fail."
I have 3 million things to do today. How much more will I have to do tomorrow?
"Why don't you take it a little at a time?" you ask.
"Because," I say, "I'll never get anything done that way!"

Oct 20, 2007 | Well...
Tomorrow you will have 6 million things to do, and if you don't get those done. The next day you will have 9 million things to do.
You should have done that one thing you started with..
:-P
