More and more I hear from peers they wish they could accomplish something they want. Some would like to try something new, others have high hopes and dreams that they talk about at great length. I have been told some of the most amazing ambitions. Lofty sights belonging to each one, very different but same conclusions.

After every great speech, however, comes the inevitable big B-U-T. They can't accomplish these things. Too much to do. Too much on their plates. These storytellers, these dreamers, defeated before the game even got started. Excuse after excuse after lengthy excuse rolls off their tongues. The dream is dead long before it ever had a chance to live.

Well I say that will not do. If you want something bad enough, you will do whatever it takes to achieve or hold that one thing. Strive, try, make goals, do what you need to do get what you deserve.

Once upon a time, I weighed 300lbs. I was unhappy and depressed about myself for such a long time. Then there came a day when I told myself wishing and hoping for something to happen will never make that thing happen for me. Long story short, I lost 140lbs and had to donate all of my old clothes.

Ever since that moment of realization, I'v applied it to all aspect of my life. I'v seen other countries, I'v been to the top of tall mountains. I'v been in many oceans, I'v conversed with people of all shapes and sizes. I can sure say out loud then I have done many great things and will do many more before I am done.

So If your looking for excuses as to why you never did or do the things you want, I'd take a look in the mirror. Cause at the end of it all, only you are to blame for holding yourself back. Only you can make a difference for you.
