Do you ever have those days when you just dont want to go out and do it? It doesnt really matter what it is. You just dont feel like doing it?

It is occasions just like this that can either hold us down or lift us and set us apart from the world at large. It is experiences like this that teach us the power of our own emotional mastery. It is the action that divides the adult from those still seeking maturity of the mind and heart.

What is it that motivates you? What is it that lights your fires and lifts you higher to become what you have always dreamed of becoming?

I hope you still have dreams.

It is a sad fact that most people have either abandoned or buried their dreams before they reach their mid 20's in age.

Why is that? Why do we surrender to the mundane of this world and give society permission to control us and herd us about like cattle in a slaughter yard?

Its never a single event or experience that causes us to give in and surrender our dreams, our bright hopes for the future. Its a process of a series of minor skirmishes and mental defeats that cause us to surrender what we are or could become, instead of persisting onward into the realms of total success and could-have-been.

You must rise out of the ashes of self pity and self doubt! Take hold of those special relationships that will lift and support you in the pursuit of your possible fantasies and incredible dreams! Set aside the self-demeaning thoughts of what once was or might have been. It is never too late to change and become so much more than you now are.

Take hold of those loving hands that are with you and encourage you. Take hold of those thoughts that would inspire and improve you and the world around you. Take hold of this moment that you, alone, can define, and make the world a better place for your having been here.

Catch the vision of the future. The future that you can be an active participant in where you can choose to become so very much more and so very much more effective and influential in!

But do not wait. Can you feel it? The future is still laid out before you. Your dreams are still out there, waiting for you to take hold of and make them come true!
