Thoughts on today.

If you really want to do it, you will. You’ll talk to that boy, or that girl. You’ll go to the gym. You’ll eat healthy food. You’ll buy clothes that fit you and make you feel cute or sexy or attractive or comfortable or whatever it is you want to do. You'll get rid of those negative relationships or thoughts or actions.

Wait. That's the wrong way to put it.

All of these things are hard to do, on some level. Especially when you’re making a decision to do one of these things for the first time. But why do we have this disconnect between how we see ourselves in the future, how we want to be, and being that person?

Because the first list are actions. Not goals. These actions lead to goals. But maybe it’s because we’re simple humans, or maybe it’s because we’re complex [read: busy], so we have trouble connecting the ideas with the goals. We have trouble completing the actions necessary to reach our goals. Or, rather, starting the actions.

For example, you think, I want to write a book. Ok! Yay! I've decided what to do!

Now, do it... But it's not one action, it's many. And keeping motivated and on track throughout those many many many many actions is hard. 

But I truly believe that if you really want to do it, you will. So the solution to welding together that missing link?

Want it. Want it badly. Want it with every thought and every word and every action. Want your future to be strong, want it to be different, want it to be perfect in your own sense, want it to be healthy and smart and horribly adventurous.

If that's what you want, of course.

Also, don’t be lazy and quit making excuses that you and I both know are bollocks.


Ps, my October Doer of the Month will be coming early this month! Look for it tomorrow!
