Are you stuck?

"Life is constantly providing us with new funds, new resources,
even when we are reduced to immobility."
—Henry Miller (Taken from Instant Health and Happiness Boosters)

Are you stuck? One of my favorite authors is Libby Gill, who wrote, YOU UNSTUCK." Doesn't it seem like we can't get unstuck no matter what we try sometimes? And we need someone like Libby to give us concrete suggestions to get our butt in gear.

I heard a story about a woman who was paralyzed by her inertia. She just couldn't seem to do anything, so a friend of hers took her to the kitchen, put soap in the sink piled high with dishes, and said, "Wash a fork." After the fork came a spoon, then a cup, then a dish, and before you know it, she had the sink clean and felt much better about her life. It turned out to be a turning point in her life.

What can you pick up today to get you working on your CTSM portfolio today? A photo caption, a picture, a list of goals for your event? Do something, anything — pick up that fork!
