Just Do It

No, I’m not talking about some slogan. I’m talking about things in your life that stand as obstacles, unreached goals, blockages, lost dreams, fears. The list can go on and on. But if you don’t just do it then more than likely you never will. So many things tell us we can’t do something, so many things distract us, and it never gets done or let alone even tried. Life is hard. There are millions of books telling us how to live, millions of seminars trying to encourage us, show us, teach us. But no one is a billionaire from expressing this knowledge because there is a multitude of ways to get there and yet there is only one path to completion. You.

I’m not a cynic. There are countless stories of people triumphing and actually living by just doing it, but they are the exception and not the norm. I want to reach the norm. I want people to believe, to understand, to know that anything is possible. You don’t have to work at the 9-5 job for 30 years to be a part of society. You don’t have to have a pension and live in the suburbs. Not that anything is wrong with this at all but what if? What if you wanted to be a helicopter pilot, what if you wanted to live in the tropics? That’s where I say, “Well, Just Do It”. I sometimes on a rare occasion hear about someone in their 70’s or 80’s going back to college and getting their degree. Is it about the degree? I don’t believe so and this is why. They are not going to be working in that field of degree now are they? So why get a degree when your 70? Because you can. Because your passionate about it. Because life got in the way, and you decided to just do it.

I’m not bad-mouthing living. We all have to live. What I’m talking about is living in your passions, living in your dreams, living without fear, living without limitations, and just doing whatever it is that sets you free. Just doing what you always wanted to do. Just doing what others said you shouldn’t or couldn’t. Just doing because you choose not to close your eyes and let life pass you by. Jump out of the airplane, take scuba lessons, move to that tropical island, get your degree in what you love and share all that love to those around you with passion. Don’t just go through the motions to get by and be safe. I’m telling you that there is too much regret in the world because people simply chose not to just do it. So, whatever it is from the most mundane to the most outrageous, just let go of all things that may hold you back and Just Do It. You’ll thank me later.
