Ok so after seeing Sir Ken last week I've decided to add a new category to the blog:
Not putting it off.
This is inspired by something Sir Ken said that struck a chord with me. He talked about when he watched a gig that his brother was playing back in his native Liverpool. After the gig he sat down with the band and was chatting to them. During the conversation he made what he thought was an innocuous remark to the keyboard player:
Sir Ken: "I'd love to be able to play the keyboards."
Keyboard player: "No you wouldn't."
Sir Ken: "Erm, yes, I would love to play the keyboards."
Keyboard player: "No you wouldn't."
Sir Ken: "Excuse me? What do you mean?"
Keyboard player: "If you would love to be able to do it, you would be doing it."
In life, we all want to do things and whilst some of them are more difficult than others, there are things that we stop ourselves from doing. I know there are several things in my life that I have wanted to do for a long time but haven't. Through no fault of anyone's but my own. I just haven't done them. I may have been distracted by other stuff in my life, I may not have been able to afford it, it may not have fit in to my plans, or I may just have bottled it.
Well, this new part of the blog is hopefully going to get some of that stuff out and done. I'm going to at least attempt to do a lot of things I always said I'm going to do. Some are quick things, and some may take planning, but instead of just talking about them I'm going to take steps to do them.
Keep your eyes peeled for Not putting it off part one - it's already under way and I just need to write it up soon...
