Do something ALREADY!
That is what my mom
Used to say to me
When my dad yelled me
Stop hiding all the time!!! Be a man!!!
That was my childhood
when I grew up.
On the course of the
Years, I learned that
If I don't do anything
About my life, no one
Will do anything to help me.
I had to get a grip of
My life and start doing
More rather than saying.
Only after 3 years in the
Army, I decided it's time
To "Man Up" and start
Living my life as man
That takes charge of
His actions, his words
And most important
Thing MY LIFE!!!
Don't be like ME! ACT TODAY!
Fear prevents us from making
decisions when appropriate.
It explains how you can give
yourself power by taking action,
rather than putting yourself at
the mercy of your circumstances.
We've all been in that place.
You have a pretty good idea what
must be done, but you canít do it.
You know it is the appropriate
Thing to do, but you just can't act.
You are stuck.
You run the circumstances over and
over in your head, but still you don't
really do anything about it.
You wait for life to come
Along and work it out for you.
Then you accept the outcome.
There are times when this approach
Might be okay, perhaps even the best choice
But most of the time we just don't
Have the courage to make a decision.
That's what it boils down to, you know courage.
Well, I know thatís the case for me anyway.
I have taken to examining myself at such times
When I find it difficult to decide what best to do.
My discovery is that, even when it is abundantly
Clear that one action is for the greater good,
Fear stops me from acting of my own will.
I look at the "possible" consequences and
I can't bear to move forward.
What about the other action?
Well, the fallout of that might
Also be unbearable, so I don't take
that action either. I can't stay where I am.
I must do one of the other.
Repeatedly I return back to the
same fork in the road, and
I don't act on either one, hoping
that the next time I return there would
be more clarity.
Sadly, clarity hardly comes.
Eventually, when I do act, a lot more damage
has been done than was necessary...
Damage that could have been avoided if
I only had the courage to act sooner.
Well, more damage isn't always done,
one could argue.
It's true. Still, at the very least, you take
away your control of the situation
by becoming a victim.
Surely that's wrong, you say.
What if you rush into a decision
that you later come to regret?
Wouldn't it be better to consider things
fully before you do something stupid?
Once again, that's correct.
However, for most people, the consideration
goes on for way longer than it should.
If there is something else that should happen first,
then that's fine; but this is not the case either, for most people.
It's just that they don't want to do what is necessary.
So step up to the plate.
Choose.
Don't be a victim of circumstance.
You can do so much more knowing
that you are responsible for the choices
that have delivered you to where you are in life.
