A Poets View

What a true and beautiful sentiment.  All too often we procrastinate or tell ourselves we “can’t do something because” - there’s always an excuse.  We use excuses so we don’t have to take that leap and do something we’ve always wanted to do out of pure fear. 

We all have dreams and aspirations.  Yet we either listen to that little voice in our head that says “we can’t do it” or we listen to others who tell us not to waste our time on frivolous activities.  We need to listen to our soul.  Our inner spirit holds the key to our happiness.  It knows our passions.  It is where we need to visit in order to fulfill our purpose.

No matter what your inner passions are they need to be born.  We all have creative aspirations - activities we want to do.  Whether it be painting, singing, climbing a mountain or bungee jumping we have to stop procrastinating and take that leap.  Don’t let any obstacles stand in your way.  Get up and get doing and seize the moment.

Here are a few suggestions:

1. You have to begin somewhere.  So, make a list of all the things you want to do.  Just jotting them down is the beginning point.

2. Despite any negative thoughts you may have, work on the first item on your list.  Don’t tell yourself you have to finish the project just commit to starting the project.

3. Shed all those excuses.  Excuses arise out of fear.  Take that first step.

4. Surround yourself with positive people. Those naysayers in your life - Shed them along with the excuses.
