Move yourself Forward.

The illusion of perfection is the enemy of success. It is the ego's final defense in its efforts to remain in the "comfort zone."  If you find yourself waiting for everything to be in place before you take effective action in moving toward your dreams, you are subscribing to a fear (conscious or unconscious) that can keep you forever in stasis.  The truth is that action--ANY ACTION--will be an effective step in moving you closer to your goal. Even if the action is not the best choice given your intention, the effect that you cause will bring you greater clarity. It may not be the quickest route to success, but it will certainly take you further than if you never left"the garage!"

If you are not clear about what you want to do, do something--anything that will move you forward (even if it is not a direction that feels completely comfortable). The steps that you take will create a momentum that will facilitate greater clarity. Let go of the need to be right, the desire to know and the ideal of control. Allow the truth of who you are to flow through you in the actions that you take, knowing that you will end up exactly where you are meant to be.

Success or sabotage? Success is part of your nature; it is your innate instinct if you will simply get out of the way and allow it to work through you.

Is this going to be an incredible day? What are two steps that you will take today to create a better life for yourself?
