i have a theory

i thought about a lot of things today. things i said i would write down on paper or onto this blog but then i got distracted--by sleep, by a movie, by a new website i discovered--that i lost my train of thought. so i ended up with nothing.

i feel bad because although i've forgotten about it, i know it was a good, blog/journal space-worthy idea.

so here's my theory: things you want to do in life, you started out thinking about them. but if you won't do something to make it happen, it slips through your mind and through the years, forget about it. then by the time you remember it and is ready to give it a second try, it's usually too late.

my point? if you thought about something good, or something you want to do, write it down somewhere. somewhere you can always check on. put a date on it for reference. it's going to be your record, something to not make you forget, something to keep you on track. it's the first step of making it happen. this is one lesson i learned from Oprah but it's also one of those things i always forget to do.

Make sense to you?
