“Great things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle,” Abraham Lincoln.

It’ll be 2019 in a little over a month. Everyone seems to be taken aback by how fast the year has run out. Wasn’t it just January “last week” when we were speaking about our goals for the year?

Now it’s November! How many of those goals have we all achieved?

Finishing can be more difficult than starting. Oh it takes a special type of “Grace” to follow through with what we’ve started.

We usually begin the year with set goals or mindsets but then somewhere along the line; they become half as important and slowly, some of us eventually lose focus.

We forget what exactly it was we were initially driving at, yearning and striving for and instead we just relapse into living life like everyday people. Talkers not doers, unambitious, just getting by.

Making something out of ourselves and our interests is challenging.

It’s normal to experience dips in motivation and just find comfort in procrastination instead of facing the pile of tasks ahead of us.

But It’s more important to live life as an enthusiast. If you’re interested in something, go for it at full speed.

Regardless of your current talent, skill or ability, you’ve been given the same 24 hours in a day as everyone else. You owe it to yourself to make the best use of your time with the ability you’ve got.

Lost time can never be recovered so there’s really no need to hold back. Life in itself is a gift.

We have to constantly strive to push past feelings of half-heartedness and reach for our goals.

What each of us needs is this- a reality check.

Where are you now? Where could you have been? What could you have done differently?

What can you do about it now?

Today, recommit to your goal or create a new one. Break it into steps that are effort driven not outcome driven.

‘Be a better person’ is not an action, ‘Stop manipulating others to get my way ‘is.

Identify what you need to stop doing, but focus on what you need to do.

Hone your craft. Develop your skill. Whatever it takes, do it.

It’s not over yet. You can still make it.

It’s a new day. It’s your new season.

Think it. Believe it.

Finish strong!

Remember Freedom is Peace; Optimism is Nature; Action is always within reach. BE MORE!
