Draw A Line In The Sand

June 26, 2012

Wanting to make a big life change or starting a new project or venture takes commitment. It takes drawing a proverbial line in the sand and saying, “I am not going back to where I was before. From this moment forward, I am going to do things differently! I am going to make this work.”

It is almost a year since Claudia and I drew perhaps our most significant line in the sand. It was the weekend of July 4th and, for the first time, we really thought about what direction we wanted our lives to go. For the first time, we committed goals to paper… with deadlines. We draw a proverbial line in the sand and were not going back.

On many occasions we point back to that weekend and are amazed at how taking those simple steps have greatly impacted where we are today.

Is there a change that you’d like to make? Why not take today and draw a line in the sand and say, “No longer am I going to live this way. I am not going back!”

Question: Has there been a time in your life that you drew a line in the sand?
