Why You Need to Shoot for the Moon…

Shoot for the moon… even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars. ~Unknown.

A friend gave me this quote on the cover of a beautiful journal. This week I found out I didn’t make the top 4 authors 🙁 I was disappointed naturally, but the honest truth is I wasn’t really sad.

I had set a lofty goal and I tried to shoot for the moon, and in the process, I learned so much about the publishing industry I needed to know. I also made so many amazing connections that are now helping me develop my message in a way that will land with the multitudes. Besides this is my first attempt at writing, and I made the top 25 authors among nearly 1,000 other aspiring writers! There are bonuses arriving next week –I’ll share what those are when I find out : )

Through this competition, all kinds of surprises showed up I wasn’t expecting. It’s SO about the journey! I am now on a project to be part of a special project for www.tenmillionclicksforpeace.org that has been a long time passion close to my heart for connecting with children through stories.

A quick question by an Australian publisher

I was asked by an Australian Publisher to be part of a compilation book on Manifesting Your Desires with a couple of the experts from The Secret, (something I’ve wanted to be able to teach others!). And I can now focus my attention on the Mini Book version of my book I’ve been working on that has a built in on-line environment. I learned about the importance of marketing, and what I now have to do.

I discovered how to channel my thoughts better when all the inspiration comes flooding in the morning. The writing habits and rituals I need to be disciplined around, and the focus on the reader I need to maintain. Pursue your dreams, stay curious about your learning, dedicated to your growth. And, while setting goals shoot for the moon. Trust me, you will open your world to all the possibilities available to you!!
