"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." --Mark Twain

I find making plans to be the easy part. The hard part is sticking with it, day after day, week after week. Yes, sometimes plans need a little adjustment and fine-tuning along the way. But I find the biggest reason that plans don't work out, is that we don't stick with them long enough. See what happens when you make a plan, fine-tune it, and then stick with it. The result of following a plan is the sweet reward of progress. :) To make your plan work, you gotta work your plan!
"Success doesn't just come and find you, you have to go out and get it." If we want success in whatever it is we are pursuing, we can't just sit by and wait for it to come to us. It just doesn't happen that way. We have to put in the time. We have to do the hard work. We have to push through our obstacles. We have to find a way when it all looks hopeless. We have to keep going when we feel like quitting. It's nothing new. We all know success doesn't come easily. But it is within reach for those who believe and go the distance. Don't wait for success to find you. Go out and get it.

Pursuing dreams takes time and energy, but most of us don't have extra of either just lying around waiting for us to decide to use it. That means we need to choose to give up something less important to make room in our lives for our dreams. Which always comes down to the same old question that proves true every time... "How bad do you want it?" It might be a rough spot in your day. It might be a rough spot in your life. It might be a rough spot in following your dreams. Whatever it is ... when the going gets tough, take a deep breath and tell yourself, "I can do this." Because you can. You just gotta believe it. I haven't posted as much recently as we adjust to our seasonal changes (starting another year of homeschooling, ramping things up for my busier time in my handmade business, keeping up to date with the happenings of our local wildfires and possibilities of evacuation, etc.) I'll be back to posting more regularly again soon, but thought I'd pop in with this little reminder that I posted on facebook this morning...
We can affect our whole day simply by choosing how we start our day. Choose to start yours with gratitude and joy and see what a difference it makes. :) If you keep putting off your dreams and your plans to get in shape until another time, when will you do them? Year by year, you keep getting older. You don't get that time back, and there is no guarantee how much time you have left. You've got to use the time you've been given in the present. Stop waiting for someday, and get started now. Start working on your dreams. Start getting in shape. For a better you. For a better tomorrow. Change won't happen until you take action, and the time to take action has come. |
