Just Do!

I've learned really hard in the past six years that in order to be the best me possible, I was do what I think I cannot and what scares me the most.  I must follow through with what I say I'm going to do, instead of just talking about it and not doing anything to make it happen.

This is my downfall.  This is where I stumble more than I would like and this is where it all begins to change for me.  I've lived a wonderfully blessed life, filled with lot's of happiness and love, laughter and joy, and many bumps in the road.

But nowadays, as I get older, I am quickly finding out that my life is so much more important than I have ever given it credit.  Sometimes I am weak and I don't believe in myself like I should.  When that happens, I thankfully and gratefully, have a special person who sees through all of my imperfections and pushes me to be all that I am.

Love has helped me grow and has helped me to let go as well, and even though I am not fully grown, I know I have come a long way because of life and love.

Here is what I am learning and better understanding today:

*If I want to be a writer than I must write, everyday, sometimes all day, to perfect and increase my creative mind.  I must put myself out there and be professional, taking every moment that I have as a serious moment and not one where I think I'll fail.  I must get out of my comfort zone and show people and the world, that yes, I am a writer, and this is my story.

*If I want to find a job in which I will love going to everyday, no matter if stresses or conflict arise from time to time, than I must actually do that by looking for a job everyday until I find one, never giving up on it just because I get lazy or bored.

*If I want to change my body, mind, and soul, than I must put in all the effort and work it will take to pursue and complete this goal, even when all I want to do is just sleep and be a bum.

*If I want to be more confident within myself, than I must do just that; be confident in spite of the world and believe in myself much more.

*If I want to prove to myself and even those I love that I can conquer anything, than I must do just that.

*If I want to stop worrying and fearing failure and disappointment, loss and uncertainty, than I must do just that; STOP.

*And if I want to love who I love, knowing that there will be moments when things are not always peachy, that differences are good, and that perfection never exists, than I will DO just that as well.

Because I am important, because my life is important, and because for the first time in my life I want to be more selfless, I will do all these things and more because it matters.  Because, everything in my life matters and everyone who is in it matters more than I show and more than they will ever know.

Today I am simply thankful to be alive.  I don't always have "perfect" days, but I am always happy in it.  My biggest thing is that I don't want to get to the end of my life and look back and see how much time I wasted on frivolous things, when I could've and should've been out there living my life.

I think for most people in this world, they don't want that to be the case.

To the one person who shows me more of myself than anyone else I know, even more than I do at times, "I Love You," is just not enough to show you what you mean to me.

I give you all of me and you give me all of you.  And that is ENOUGH!
