What is stopping you from doing something great?

I haven’t blogged in awhile, been busy, been otherwise distracted.  BUT, the things that I have been working on have prompted this question: What is stopping you from doing something great?  Excuses?  Drop them like flies.  Money?  If you’re serious, how much do you need, do you have a plan in place, and do you know where to find the nearest Country Club or other location where the people with the $$$ hang out? 

Once you eliminate excuses and money, what is left to hold you back from doing something great?   

Absolutely nothing. 

So eliminate it/them/it.

I’ve been busy preparing videos for the Rotary District 5030 Conference, it’s happing April 28-May 1, and it is going to be the most deeply emotive conference this district has ever had.  Why?  See my previous blogs for a detailed explanation, but the simple answer comes in two quick parts:  1) the videos are actually going to play correctly because the district has had a professional (moi) on point to gather and assemble them, and 2) These are emotional videos.  I’m a cold hearted SOB, I keep a perimeter on my emotions, and every time I’ve reviewed the “final” DVD master, some part of it has brought a tear to my eye.  It’s due it no part to me.  And it never has anything to do with a hand-across-the-water Rotary-produced song.  It’s due in every part to the fact that these are videos and photos from very giving people who are making a difference in the world every day, no excuses, no boundaries.

Whatever boundaries prevent you from making a difference, there are ways to remove or ignore them.  It just takes your initiative.

This is relatively short for me, so I’ll end it on a funny that has nothing to do with anything, until I start writing movies again.

                Guy’s gotta do what a guy’s gotta do,
                hunt them badgers down,
                skin ‘em, clean ‘em,
                make slippers outta ‘em,
                ….for the ladies.

…and really, who doesn’t love burritos?  Other than Hitler?
