What Are We Waiting For?

Hi, everyone! Spring break is rapidly coming to an end. All of my friends who flew the coup are slowly starting to trickle back home. It's an exciting time for me. :)

My life seems to be in overdrive, and I could not be happier about it. After a fun day and great chat with an incredible person, I came home to start on a project that I have always wanted to do but never thought I could. Ding..ding..ding...post idea!

If there is something that you want to do, GET GOING!

There are a million and one excuses that we can all use as a reason not to do something, but why? If you want to remodel your house, do it. If you want to start a business, get to it. If you want to go back to school, apply! I realize there are a lot of outside factors that could prevent some of these from happening, but I want to inspire you to try!

I am starting to realize how quickly life moves. It started picking up pace at 21 and hasn't seemed to slow down since. If I sit back, I will find myself retired on the back deck reading all the books I was never able to when I was teaching. Now is the time to go after every thing you want.

For me and many others, the scariest part is the first step. It is the fear of the unknown and the possibility of failing. Those fears are present in almost everything we do, so we can't let those inhibit us. The prospect of us achieving our goals or accomplishing a dream should outweigh all. Each of us is capable of so much. We just don't believe it. I watch Kid President, a little 9-year-old from Tennessee, and realize how one person can do anything. He has inspired millions of people, young and old, to be kinder to others. He has made people more cognizant of how they treat others. A little boy did that. If he can inspire the world, you can do whatever it is you're dreaming of. I promise.

We have one shot at this life. I don't know about you, but I want it to be magical. I want to fight for each of my dreams. I know I will stumble at times, but the thought of succeeding will be what picks me up every time. As one of the greatest people alive always tells me, "I believe in you." Put your mind to it, and go for it!!

Go do good things,

BT
