It's about doing something

I've been struggling this morning thinking about what can I say today that might make some sense.  As I sit here in front of my computer, the minutes tick by, my mind just seems blank and I'm kind of tired. My mind says  to just move on and do a message tomorrow - but I don't want to "skip" this morning, so I started looking through some old, really old notes hoping that maybe an idea will jump off the page.

 

There are days when it's difficult to get started...doing anything. But I know that if I sit here long enough, think a little, read something, I have a chance to come up with something to say. Maybe that's the message for today: every day can't be the best day of my (or your) life so just DO SOMETHING.  This has happened many times over the years as I was working to build the business. I had to convince myself to get going.

 

We all have times when we have to push ourselves into activity. If I reflect back to my early years, there were times when I would start to have doubt in my mind. I always hated that, because it halted everything I was doing and I had to learn to fight back mentally. I talk about being mentally tough and I believe strongly that mental toughness is what it takes to push forward...even when we don't feel like it.  If I only did things when I felt like doing it, I wouldn't have a business because most of the time I didn't feel like doing what it takes. I knew I shouldn't rely on feelings. The fact was and is, there are things to do.

 

So that's it for today. Just because you might not feel like doing something about moving forward today, don't give in to doubt. Do something. Start. I know it's not easy but if we just start, then start again and again and again. Before we know it, we're getting ourselves back thinking good thoughts and fighting back. Be a fighter.  Be a person that never gives up. Whew!  

 

Enthusiastically,
