Remember that things only happen when I get up, get out, and make them happen

so naughty! this is clearly not sinking in at all. I’ve spent the last two days just sitting at home. naughty me. so tomorrow i will ride pony, and maybe organise to go to the cinema with someone so i can get myself out of the house

I’ve learn’t is that it really helps to tell someone else about your plans and aims. This makes it much harder not to take action and have a good go at making your dreams become reality. Friends and family can be suprisingly encouraging and less critical than you might think. They will support you if things don’t work out and will celebrate with you when they do.

I’ve really come to see the truth in this. Things that have been vague ideas and dreams, in some cases for years, have recently become reality. The only reason for this is that having set them out in writing and acknowledged their existence I’ve gone on to take active steps to achieve them. So far this has mainly been in my silly ideas like dying my hair and dancing in the rain. But it also applies, and I’m starting to see the impact, in more important aims. The potential for what I can do if I make an effort and try is so exciting, and it encourages me to reach higher and try to achieve even more!
