Every year we make new goals and resolutions…
We say clichés things like, “New Year, New Me” or “I’m going to make this year my bitch” …
Every year we say, “This year it’s going to be different”…
We clean our house…
We throw away old clothes…
We light incense…
Some of you have gone as far as burning sage through out your whole house….
All for what, to give up on your dreams by mid-March?
Instead of wasting time and doing all of these useless rituals that don’t make any sense. How about you…
And…
Yes, just do it like a Nike commercial… Do it like it is your last day on this earth. Because in all reality, it just may be your last day! No more waiting, go after your dreams…
How many times have you said that you are going to start on Monday? How many times has Monday came and you have an excuse on why you can’t do it?
Why aren’t you making time for your dreams and aspirations? Why aren’t you making time for the most important person in your life? I’m talking about you! We all know life happens. But life happens to everyone, that’s not a good enough excuse.
No, don’t let your dreams be dreams…
Do you know what happens to a dream deferred???
It shrivels up like a raisin in the sun…
Do you want that to happen to your dreams???
Instead of waiting until Monday, what can you do today to work towards your dreams? How about turning off the TV and doing something productive?
Now, I know you got to watch your shows but in order to get different results you must do something different. So I ask you what are you going to do differently to accomplish your goals and make your dreams come true?
You can’t use time as an excuse anymore… We all have the same 24 hours in a day. You have to make the most of the time you have here on this earth….
So what are you going to do differently?
Wake up earlier?
Stay up later?
Work on it during your lunch break?
Turn off your TV?
Put down your cell phone?
Log off social media?
What are you going to differently to accomplish your dreams?
Don’t wait… Don’t hesitate… The time is now to make your dreams come true! If you don’t start now, this time next year you’re going to wish you did!!!
Goal crushers, I want you to be the best you, you can be. If you’re not working on your dreams, you’re working towards someone else’s.
Ponder on that for a second or two…
One Mississippi…
Two Mississippi…
Every second, every minute, and every hour that you are not working on dreams, you are working on someone else’s dreams. Now, I understand that you may have kids, a job, or other responsibilities. We all do… I want you to understand something; you are not your kids, your job, or other responsibilities. Don’t let that consume your life!
I’m going to let you in on a little secret…
You are going to have to make a sacrifice to make time for you to work on your dreams. For those who may be wondering what sacrifices I’ve made… I wake up every day at 5:30 am, I haven’t had cable in two years and I limit myself to about two hours of TV time a day. So, I ask you what are you going to do differently today, not tomorrow, or Monday?
What are you going to do today that will put you one-step closer to your dreams? Leave your answer in the comment section below.
In the words of Shia Labeouf …
Until next time, keep crushing goals
