Resolutions

Look.

It seems like most of the time, all we do is complain about things. I want this, I want that...I wish I could this, I wish I could that.

Well you know what? Sometimes, you have to work for the things you want.

Quit whining about it and just go out and make it happen. Put yourself out there and do the best you can. Maybe you'll get it, and maybe you won't, but at least at the end of the day, you can rest easy knowing you did everything you could and that you are where you are because you chose it. You made it that way.

Yeah, sometimes good things come to those who wait and those who wait don't have to do anything. But I think for the most part, that's just a saying that was made up to teach patience. I think generally, if you want something, the best way to get it is to go after it. To say: yes, I want this. I'm going to make it happen.

Or, to acknowledge that it's not really that important and that you can live without it and forget about it. Move on.

Because maybe it's really not that important to you and you decide it's not worth it.

And on the other hand, even if it is important to you, if you're not willing to work for it, if you don't care enough to try, then maybe you don't deserve it.

If you just stay where you are and wait for things to happen, you'll never get anywhere.

Don't sit around waiting for your life to come to you. Take the first step. Go out and live it.
