Get up!

What can I do that isn't going to get done unless I do it, just because of who I am.
-Buckminster Fuller

      Makes sense if you don't think about it. We all have our inner demons telling us when we should and should not do things. It's like they want us to procrastinate until it's too late or we are so stressed out we don't want to do it. That's not the case for Buckminster Fuller. He was a man of action with limited resources. He left some really big shoes to fill.
      The quote that I began with should get you thinking. Nothing will get done if everyone is just sitting around thinking about doing stuff. Think for a moment about who you are. Not just that, but what are your beleifs, how do you feel about the way you are able to get things done. If you aren't truly satisfied about your history of accomplishments. Maybe it's time for a change. Maybe it's time to step to the other side of your life. Only you can determine your actions. Think about this for a second:

The rocks in the water don't know how the rocks in the sun feel.
-Hatian Proverb

      If the "water" is slowing you down, get your ass out of it!!!!!!! There are so many different aspects of your life that you can change, it would make your head spin off if you would just realize it. Don't just sit there and say "oh yeah I know, but...., but......., but.......". That's a whole lot of buts and we all know what comes out of buts. Stop making excuses and get your ass out of the "water", it's slowing you down.

  1. Couldn't have said it better myself, DJ. The first quote is amazing and I wish I had read it years ago. I would have understood the meaning behind it much quicker.
