THE ORIGINAL "JUST DO IT"

It's days like today that used to make me cave. Make me think "why do I even try?". But after so many of those days (so, so many of those days), you finally realize you have two choices: Give in to the people and things who/that you are allowing to affect you or, pick yourself up and move forward and take a chance at happiness (and heartbreak maybe since they tend to come hand-in-hand sometimes).

Obviously, picking myself up and moving forward has been my choice the past several months. And thank goodness. It was only then I started seeing all the positive in my life. It was only then I started allowing new experiences. It was only then I started laughing again. I'm talking really laughing.

One of the things I did was start writing more. Another was I started reading more. Reading things I knew would inspire me.

So...now on days like today, I search them out. And I absolutely enjoy finding new writings. But even more, I love coming across ones I've read before and forgotten about.

Enjoy.

You Can Do Anything
You Believe You Can

Just start somewhere. Resolve to do something.
You might even write out what you want to
accomplish. Then explore what you need to do to
reach you goal, and start doing it, step by step.
It's the same as if you were planning a trip: you
get a map, make your preparations, and then start
traveling the right road.

 

Don't get "bound up" in any problems that stand
in your way. Do something every day to resolve
them. Trust your instincts. Do one thing at a time.

Remember... if you sow seeds of fear, doubt, panic,
and procrastination, it will most likely work against
you. If you keep doing the same things you're
doing now, you will keep ending up in similar
places to where you are now.

Once you start making progress towards your goal,
you will be magically propelled towards eventual
reward. Just keep listening and taking direction
from inside you. Be patient; your dreams will not
come true overnight. But start now, and go with
love and courage and confidence. Don't be afraid.
You can do anything you believe you can. And
don't forget to keep an open mind and heart to
check yourself along the way.

 

You can do it! Go for it, and good luck.

Always remember and never forget: Change is scary, but giving up is unimaginable. Don't be afraid of getting hurt. Be afraid of being numb.
