Anyone that really knows me, knows that I am enthralled with a blank notebook. Any notebook, any time. My kids are very familiar with the “Let’s go buy notebooks!” impulse and now even get excited with me. As it turns out, 98 cents can still buy you a brand new world!
Well, let’s think about it a minute. In a blank notebook you could plan a new business. You could design a new home. You could plan an itinerary for an exciting new trip. You could create a new budget (okay, yes, that sounds less than exciting). You could initiate a new fitness program or create a list of to-do’s that lead to the completion of a project. There are so many possibilities!
And the truth is, we all need blank notebooks in our lives. They represent HOPE. And the affirmation that indeed anything can start with you and a piece of paper. The recordation of an idea, a thought, that proceeds action. Action that leads wherever you want it to! WOW! Those simple moments of creating on a clean slate are powerful because it is in that space that any potential that you have is possible of being explored. The past is the past – whether that holds small failures or massive, fall-flat-on-your-ass failures – it is over. And a clean notebook is just waiting for you out there to begin again…I challenge you today to stop what you are doing and dream on some blank paper somewhere. Move on, fellow rebounder, move on!
