great post. It got me thinking this morning: What makes my inner snowball? What must I stay on track with to keep building my snowman? For me they were getting up early, daily meditation, daily writing, and daily organization. You’re amazing!

@Srinivas:

As a kid, I always started making the core ball… and then made it bigger and bigger, until it took three of us just to roll it around. I usually never got around to making an actual snowman :p

@Tracy:

Ya, there’s a world of difference between “Hey, wanna do x?” or “Hey, I’m doing x, wanna join in?”

Especially when you’re trying to get a group of friends organized. If you simply talk to one or two people, pick a good time, and then tell the others “This is when and what we’re doing, come along if you want”, it’s so much easier than trying to talk to everyone.

You’re welcome. I do my best

What a wonderful post! It’s got so much common sense and you’ve organized it out so well. I like the idea of taking responsibility for my own core and then thinkgs will start attaching…….and this is work i have to do all.by.myself……I also like the way you suggest I have fun with it!!

Thanks for your post

"people will love to join you once you get the ball rolling" I love that, it's so true. Sometimes in the past I've wondered why I wasn't getting the support I thought I needed and it wasn't until I said okay, let's just try to see what we can do on our own that people started taking notice and joining in. Thanks for the thought provoking post. I loved thinking about snow today; it's so hot here! Tracy’s last blog post..I am so ready for a 3 day weekend

Very well said Vlad. I lived in Canada for 4 years and I couldn’t build a snowman for the entire time, until the last snowfall. It was because I never understood how to build the core ball. Great analogy.
