I Was Going Through Some Thangs
I have spent a good deal of my life letting my thoughts limit my life's possibilities. In dealing with the lessons I have learned on this journey called life, I realized I started using a formula to help me push through my limiting thoughts.
Believing that others – you – may be dealing with the same, I decided to share this formula.
- identify what is limiting you
- change your thoughts
- believe you can
- act on what you say you will do
- so you can get to DONE
This is the process I realized I needed to take to get past me and the limiting thoughts in my head.
Keep reading and you will see why I needed this type of process to break through my thinking. My hope is that this process will work for you too.
Grid Locked for No Other Reason Than Me
Five hundred eleven – 511
In the US and parts of Canada, at least, that number is most notably known as the transportation and travel hotline.
For me, 511 is the number of days from the day I invested in a web host for this blog, to the day I finally flipped the switch on the maintenance mode to make the blog live for the world to see.
Check this out. It took
- 1 year, 4 months 24 days or
- 73 weeks or
- 12,264 hours or
- 735,840 minutes or
- 44,150,400 seconds
for me:
- to stop working in the hold of perfection
- to stop being afraid of whatever failure tactic I allowed myself to believe
- to stop worrying about what of value I could possibly provide to you
Know When to Stop and Change Direction
You may be familiar with why it took so long to get to this point. If not, two snaps for you not blocking your own way. As for me, truth be told, I am embarrassed, and my wallet isn't all that happy either that it took me so dang long to go live with canwillDONE. I spent hours, sometimes days, on non essentials for the site. It was pure craziness I tell you. It got to a point where I simply walked away. I did not bother with the idea any longer. You know what? All I really was doing was making life harder than it needed to be, procrastinating, and avoiding my fears. Most importantly, I was taking myself away from the core reason for the blog.
Long Journey Towards Growth
That is in the past. I have shaken that off. What I had started all those many months ago, I scrapped it. Here I am, on day 511, having let loose of the things that do not matter, my perceived imperfections, my doubts, and my fears, allowing me to bring you, FINALLY – thank you Jesus! (hallelujah dance) – canwillDONE.

canwillDONE is where I will share my personal struggles with things such as, but surely not limited to, perfectionism, self-doubt, and fear. I will also share my weight-loss journey. As I struggled to get healthy and fit again, I realized there was a connection between the battle of the bulge and those aforementioned – don't I sound all smart? aforementioned lol – limiting behaviors.
canwillDONE is about the myriad of limiting behaviors that, not just me, but we impose upon ourselves. At its core, canwillDONE will be framed around self-improvement and continuous growth because bettering ourselves is completely in our hands.
