Do Something

9 Feb

Everyone has dreams and goals they want to achieve. We can spend hours thinking about “how it will be” when we get to wherever it is we’re dreaming about. Thinking about what we desire helps us define exactly what we want to do, but simply thinking about it will never change anything. While we continue on in our jobs, our families, and our lives as they are, we may be silently wishing things were different. If only we could do this, or go there, or accomplish that, we think everything would be better. Nobody can read the future, but one thing is certain, simply thinking about what we want isn’t going to make it happen. Our dreams aren’t going to suddenly appear before us, all shiny and new, ready to be ours, simply because we want them. Our lives are filled with routines and things we need to pay attention to, but there is always the possibility of change. There is time to turn around and move toward what we want the most, and when we’re ready to start, the road will be there for us. Doing nothing changes nothing, but if we do something, just the very first thing to start the process forward, we can begin the journey toward any goal. The first steps on a new road can be intimidating. It’s different than what we’re used to, and there is no way to know what will happen next. But being unsure cannot stop us from moving forward. We have all the courage and wisdom we need to open any door and manage any complication. The road ahead isn’t always clear, but if we’re determined, we will be able to find our way. Every dream we think about, every destination we desire is possible. We are the only ones powerful enough to keep us from success. Nothing can hold us in place and we can have the lives we desire most.

Fear is a powerful emotion. If we’re afraid of the unknown, and worried we can’t get through, we may never attempt what is needed to reach our goals. Nothing is guaranteed, and few roads are paved and clear without problems. If we don’t trust ourselves to be able to handle what might happen, we may stay in place indefinitely, simply dreaming about what could be. But we have already overcome many complex and difficult issues, and found our way forward. We can trust ourselves that no matter what develops or gets in the way, we will find the answers we need, and be able to continue ahead.

Life is filled with endless opportunities. We never have to stay where we are and continue doing the same things. If we’re ready for a change, and want something new, it will be there for us. There are unlimited things to do and places to go. We can go as far as we desire and accomplish anything. By trusting ourselves, and our ability to overcome whatever may block our path, we can step forward confident of success. The goal may take longer than we planned, and the road may be harder to travel than we imagined, but if we keep our eyes focused ahead, nothing can keep us from success.

Today, stop dreaming about what you want and take the first step forward toward the goal. You are more powerful and wiser than you think you are. There isn’t anything you can’t manage, and no problem you can’t solve. Be confident and trust yourself. There is greatness in you, and nothing can keep you from winning. Everything is there waiting. Step forward, and claim it.

No Go

8 Aug

There are limitless things we can accomplish and endless goals we can work toward.  When we want something we can create a plan to achieve it and move forward toward success.  If we had control over everything around us we could always guarantee we’d be able to reach every goal we desired.  Unfortunately, we live in the real world and the only control we have is over ourselves.  There will always be other people making decisions that impact us and other things we don’t know about and can’t prevent from getting in the way.  If we’re determined to reach a goal we can work diligently and push through obstacles in our way but we may face a situation where no matter what we do we can’t get there.  Sometimes the hurdles are too high or the barrier in front of us is too wide to get around.  If there is nothing we can do to change the situation we may have to abandon the goal and let it go.  It’s hard to face defeat when we’ve worked hard to succeed especially if we’ve worked hard for a long time.  We don’t know what we don’t know and can’t see everything at the beginning.  Sometimes no matter how well we plan or hard we push things won’t work out for us.  If we must let go of a goal, we can set it down and walk away – for now.  Life is constantly in flux and everything changes around us over time.  What is impossible today may come easily in the future so although we have to leave the dream behind now, if we still want to accomplish it we can revisit it later and try again.

It’s great to reach the destinations we desire but the journey along the way is what teaches us about our world.  Every experience teaches us something and we take that knowledge forward with us.  Even if things don’t work out we have more information than when we started and understand more clearly where we are and what we need.  We can use all the lessons we’ve gained to reach new heights moving forward and continue toward the lives we want the most.

When we’ve been stopped and can’t move before we reach a goal we can develop another plan and try again.  We can try as often as we like and may reach success.  Most goals are attainable but there are some things we won’t be able to achieve no matter what we do.  To continually knock ourselves out trying to do something that can’t be done is not in our best interest.  Trying to do the impossible will only hold us back from finding success in other areas.  If we’ve done all we can and still can’t move forward we can turn our course toward something else.  It’s wise to accept defeat when success isn’t possible.  We can be confident in choosing well and living in ways that bring satisfaction and ultimate success.

Today if you’ve been working hard for a long time toward a goal and can’t move forward, look at everything clearly.  If there are possible options that will bring success, try them.  If not, determine where you want to go now and begin again on a new road.  There is no failure as long as you continue forward.  Be confident and trust your judgement.  You are wise and capable and will find success.
