“Inspiring One Dreamer at a Time!”
We Must Do the Work!
Well here we are almost at the end of January, I was just wondering if you’ve made any resolutions at the beginning of the year? If so are you still working on them or have you already grown discouraged and gave up on meeting them this year? I know how exciting it is to make New Year’s resolutions during such an emotional high! However, when all of the celebrating and partying is over the real work must begin. For many of us, we totally regret ever making those resolutions during the hype of all of the emotional clichés.
I am not writing this to try to discourage you further. I am writing instead to encourage you to do the work. Yes it is hard and grueling, but it is well worth every effort! Do you know why? Because when you made the resolution, emotionally or not, there was something that you wanted or desired on the inside so much that you said it out loud! I am here to celebrate with you again! Let’s pretend like the “ball” just now dropped at Time Square! Do you remember the power you felt inside as the ball had dropped less than a month ago? Well feel that power again! It is what will spark your hope that you could make changes, dream new dreams or set new goals? It is still with you, you haven’t lost it! I am here to help you fan the flame as it were to cause the spark to erupt into a full blaze! Come on you can do this thing!
Just wanted to give a brief update, my number one goal or resolution was that this year I wanted to do something with all of my stories “books” that I’ve written and left buried in my computer document files for many years? I had to ask myself “what are you waiting for?” So I began editing three of my stories and decided to do a little short story book entitled Mazy’s High Flying Adventure! I am so excited to say that I finished the book and it is already available on Amazon, etc. NO this is not a sales pitch where I am trying to sell my books, but I wanted to simply share that in order for our dreams to come, we have to put in the work! Even though I had already worked hard at writing the stories, to turn them into an actual book meant some long nights of editing, cropping pictures, etc. Whether we feel like it or not, we must dig inside and find the reason that we desired to reach the goal in the first place. I’ve just begun, but wanted to start my year off with success as soon as I could so that I could encourage myself to continue on!
I just wanted to encourage you to shake off all of the doubt and discouragement and go forward! Finish one of the goals that may take the least work so that you can see a measure of success! Prioritize! Maybe you’ve been trying to do something to reach your goal that isn’t quite working! Hey I’ve been there and done that many times, but the main thing is that you don’t give up on your dreams because what you tried didn’t work. Go for it at another angle, or a different way! The old adage “where there is a will, there is a way” applies here. Come on my friend you can do it! I can hear the fireworks of celebration can you?
