It's hereditary. I have tons of big ideas and plans, it's just the follow-through with which I have trouble.
About two months ago I decided that I didn't want to be one of those people who just never got around to things. Good intentions don't mean anything. There are so many things that I want to do but I have always told myself that I can't do those things because I don't have enough money, enough resources, skills, you name it. One day it occurred to me: so? What's really stopping me is not lack of resources. It's fear.
I am tired of being ruled by fear.
I have lived my whole life in fear. Fear that I was not good enough, I was not pretty enough, not smart enough, not fun enough...not enough. I call bullshit. I can do anything I really want to do. It may not be easy, in fact anything worth doing is not, but if I keep at it, I can do whatever I want. Maybe not quite in the way I dreamed, but I can still do it.
So, I am adopting a new attitude.* Just do it! Whatever it is I want to do, I am just going to do it. I am going to find a way and do it. I believe this is the way I will find fulfillment in my life, no more "what if"s or "if only"s, only "how can I"s.
Another goal, or I should say attitude adjustment, will be to be happy. I'm tired of getting so down, letting people get to me, etc. My new attitude is to be a beacon to all around me. I know firsthand the importance of someone simply noticing you, so I will endeavor to say a kind word to everyone I meet. I believe I can change the world, one kind word at a time.
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." Leo Buscaglia
I may have setbacks, but I keep making progress. Go me! Go me!! I can do it!
*Dad's little escapade to the hospital put a slight damper on my attitude. OK, I've been pretty down, but that is all behind now. Mostly...
