Take Action

Today’s drawing of Mary Magdalene

The phrase “take action” is what came to my mind when I didn’t have an idea to write about tonight. I had heard it earlier in some video, and it stayed with me.

As I sit every night, drawing the Magdalene, I ask myself: where am I going?

I have ideas, and a vision of the end result, but when I think of how I will get there, my mind starts racing with thoughts that do not lead anywhere. And I know that even though I am taking action, my actions are limited, sometimes by the time I have available, and sometimes because I get distracted with very small pleasurable steps that don’t lead very far. Steps of the present. And although living in the present is a philosophy that helps people be happier, I feel that there must be a time to envision the future and shape it.

Being present while moving forward…

What is the right amount of action that we need to take in order to create change and move forward at a faster rate? It’s a good question. The time has come to find the answer.
