IF NOT NOW, WHEN? IF NOT YOU, WHO?

If not now, when? Are you waiting for the perfect moment to start reaching for your goals? Tomorrow? After school is out? When your headache clears? So on, and so forth. It's a lie my friends. Within each and every moment lies the power to begin. The power to act, to choose differently, to become who you know you can be. Why settle for mediocre when you have the opportunity each day to be the best?

If not you, who? Wouldn't it be nice if someone else could go to the gym and burn fat for us? If someone else had clean meals prepared for us for the day? The sooner you wake up from the dream, the better you will succeed at reaching your goals. One must be willing and ready to take responsibility for self. No blaming, no complaining, and no explaining. I believe this is where our society has been weak... too many people wanting to give up their personal responsibilities, and let someone else 'take care' of things for them, whether it's education, health, welfare, etc. The giving away of personal responsibility for convenience, and ease of way, comes at a price... every time, and that price is personal power. If much has been given away, it will ultimately leave one feeling power-less. The sooner we each take responsibility back into our own hands, the better. If not you, who?
