Instead of "when I start doing" think "I am doing"

Instead of thinking "when I start doing" think "I am doing" -- then big things will really start to happen for you and the others around you.

So often we think of ourselves as planning to develop rather than thinking of ourselves as developing... we don't feel we are worthy of the "I am doing" moment. Rather we explain ourselves away by staying in the "when I start doing" moments. It's safer. It's also self-sabotage.

To live without integrity is to purposely diminish your own chances of success, your chance of contributing in the biggest way you can to the world.

In the end your integrity is all you got. It is your worth.

George Orwell once said, "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." Thinking "when I start doing" rather than "I am doing" is a lie... a lie to yourself.

What truths will you tell? How will your integrity be made manifest?

Comment by Susan Brown on April 1, 2009 at 9:40am: "I am doing" is such a lovelly call for being in the now, fully present and fully engaged. Those three words pull one forth as opposed to "when I am doing" which pushes one away from action postponing dream and goal fulfillment.

I'm having "I should have had a V-8" moment. - By the way, I notice some big-name marketers falling out of integrity and tons of folks are fed-up with it. Getting back to basics is a necessity and "truth telling" is part of it. We're standing on a brand new wave of significant and meaningful "change" and this is a very good thing once we know to take advantage of it.
