Make Things Happen

When you are on the way to bigger and better things it is hard not to be afraid. You wonder if the battle is worth the time, or doubt starts to creep into your thoughts. You strive to stay positive hoping that you stay above the fold. You may even ask yourself if you can do it. The answer is yes.

This means you are progressing but the prize has not come into sight. Stay the course and believe that you are arriving at that very moment of winning.

There have times in the past when I wondered if I could accomplish certain things and put other projects/hobbies on the table because I did not think I would be able to do it. In order to have a finish there has to be a starting point.

I started. I completed a degree program after thinking about it and wanting to do it for years. I finished, I am proud of myself, and I am so glad that I started. I accomplished a goal. It was an awesome feeling. I stuck with it, stayed the course, and kept going. One course at a time and one research paper after another. Yes, there were some late night writing sessions to complete papers and missed functions with family and friends. However, you have to do things for your own benefit. Your own life mission…for the satisfaction of your own soul.

There may be things that you may have wanted to do for a long time. Stop wanting and start doing. Wants manifest want. Put some intentions and action in the mix and work on making those desires your realities.

You can do it too. Whatever your ‘it‘ is, it can be accomplished. Just put your mind to it and go for it today. Start the process and follow it through to the end. You have everything to gain and it will happen at the proper timing.

So, you say you’ve tried it before and it didn’t work? Use the lessons learned, pick up the pieces that survived, and start it again. Do not give up. You are the most valuable member on your winning team. Hashtag winning (#winning).
