Don't Just Wish it Away - Demolish Those Obstacles

http://demolish-it.blogspot.com/2013/07/demolish-it-rules-must-read.html

The day we arrived to our new home, this is what we saw looking at the rear of the house.  Well, a few choices here:
a.  run
b.  tell the landlord to clean it up
c.  decide to live with it
d. demolish the unwanted mess while being pissed off
e. demolish the unwanted mess while enjoying every step
f.  go get drunk and contemplate the sanity of this move
g.  close our eyes and pretend it was not there
h.  let out a blood curdling scream complete with explicatives
i.  Rage about the folks who left this mess

Well, you get the idea.  This example is true for every possible obstacle in our lives.  We have choices.  My choice?  I chose e then later followed up with f, interspersed with a healthy dose of i secretly within the privacy of our very dirty new home but the others never entered our minds.

Bottom line is the obstacle was demolished, completely and utterly demolished.  There is a time and a place for contemplation, living love and laughter and all of that.  I truly believe in it but, personally, when an obstacle arises that is not the time for meditation.  It is time to GET BUSY and MOVE it out of our way.

In this case it did not matter how long I talked to all of that trash sitting there, it still refused to walk itself over to the dumpster.  I tried yelling, screaming, even kicked it a time or two and it simply refused to leave.  So we Demolished It and have been happy with the results since that day.   We continue working on our project of Love (the yard) but it is now a pleasure to create slowly and as inspiration demands. 

How often do we become depressed to the point of inaction when only action will resolve the issue before us?  Sometimes we just have to get mad to get up.  Whatever it takes, Demolish it, just do it as Niki would say or Get er done by Larry the Cable Guy most importantly MOVE that ass of yours cause it isn't getting done just thinking about it.

Why?  Because that obstacle is in your way and the only way to remove it is to DEMOLISH it.
