But first I need!

If I were to open a school it would need to be called:

Rube Goldberg Centre for Life, Contentment, Happiness, Survival and Overall Wellness and Perhaps even thriving as well as academy for career coaching and vocational transitioning for those who find that simplicity is a word they can spell but not put into practice and it is by far not the only issue they deal with but it certainly has an impact on their day oh and don’t forget to include that this school includes having a family and time perhaps for a few pleasures and hobbies along the way

I’d call it “Rudyard Kipling’s Left Testicle” for the sake of brevity.

But first I need to learn more stuff.

And then I need to pay down some debts.

After that?

Well, I’m waiting to see what happens with the kids.

Once they’re gone?

Well, that’s a long time from now, so no point in starting.

Sound familiar?

How do you negotiate this?

Sometimes ‘but first I need’ is an excuse to be small.

Other times distractions are more important that the goal.
