I understand how people’s opinions and comparison can interfere with goals. That’s the nice thing about getting older, we stop caring what others think or what the latest thing is. Yes to if it’s still in your mind, then do it. For me, my intuition will also keep telling me to do it. If it is a MUST DO, I get a craving that won’t go away. That’s how I got two of my cats.

That's definitely one of the nice things about getting older, and I'm so glad that nagging fear is losing its grip on me more and more as the years go by and that it's becoming that much easier to tune it out.

That's not a bad way to get cats :P I love how our intuitions are sometimes so gentle and whispery and then sometimes it's just NOW DO IT NOW!

The NOW DO IT NOW is occasionally to get us out of a dangerous situation. Other times, it happens because we have been ignoring our intuition.

Exactly. I excel at the latter ;)

Excellent advice! I do something similar, but with slips of paper in a box on my desk. Also, you've just given me this year's saying. :-) Instead of making New Year's resolutions, I choose a short saying to use as a sort of long-term meditation each year. I've done everything from "all life is one life" to "wherever you go, there you are." This year, my saying will be, "If it's still in your mind, it is worth taking the risk." Thank you for the inspiration!

I love that idea, too! Like an idea box? And you're very welcome, I'm looking forward to seeing what risks you'll be taking this year <3

Yes, like an idea box, specifically for my writing. There's something incredibly satisfying to me about holding the slips of paper in my hand, as if they were ideas that had physically manifested.
