Closer Than You Think

The wall of red tape is mostly in your head.

The life you want is usually closer — and simpler to reach — than you think.

It feels overwhelming until someone lays the whole thing out.

Then it's just a handful of things, done once, in the right order — and you're free.

Most of my overwhelm was just a checklist nobody had written down yet.

Write the whole list once.

Get it all on one page. The impossible thing usually turns out to be a to-do list.
