DO IT - NOT JUST DO IT!

Michael Jordan says "Just Do It" well – I'm going to say "DO IT" – I took out the just and I'm getting to the point.  So my friends, DO IT!  I'm going to quote a great sports announcer – Dick Vitale (Dicky V) – "if you want something you got to go out and make it happen."  I say make things happen – we often stay in status quo because of fear, because we don't want to take a risk so we stay in a world of discontent.  Day in and day out, we get stuck in this rut.  Why – I ask why continue to live in a rut.  Take the risk, take a chance and do something totally different.  We dream about it, we talk about it but do we put it into action?  It's time to turn our dreams to reality and put a fantasy to rest.  We want to find a job that pays us more money, we want to get out of a relationship that is dysfunctional, we want to lose weight; instead we dream and talk about it and live in the "ifs."  I say it's time to DO IT!  Take the leap of faith; take the risk and really DO IT!  I'm not just saying this without experience either. I took the DO IT plunge 13 years ago when as a single mother with 2 kids and working for a very dysfunctional chiropractor, I said "Enough" and I DID IT!  I took a full commission job with no savings and living pay check to pay check for the sake of being happy.  I took the leap of faith, did not have a paycheck for 6 months but I believed and I knew in my heart of hearts that this is exactly what I was to do to gain my financial freedom and be independent and not work for anyone again.  Guess what, it worked.  After 13 years, I'm still independent and my career has soared to new heights.  I took it upon myself 13 years ago to be OPEN to new possibilities.  Like the Secret says – I was open to receive – I asked, I believed and the results were I received an opportunity to be independent.  If " I" can do it, why not you?  Try it, it really works!  Remember what I quoted by Dicky V: "if you want something, you've got to go out and make it happen."  It starts with YOU and ONLY YOU!  If you don't want to start with something BIG like a job, try this on something small in your life.  Take the leap and take the DO IT plunge!  Make it happen – it's empowering to say the least.  I have one more quote by John Updike: Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.  Remember, may the possibilities of today excite us ALL!
