It starts with a feeling.

It starts with a feeling. A negative feeling you don’t recognize at first. You try to avoid it, shake it off, but it persists. It persists so hard that it affects your mood, your energy levels, your interactions with people, your self esteem… The truth is you’re trapped. You’re trapped within yourself and you’re drowning so fast that you don’t know how to come back to the surface. Next, you acknowledge you have a problem. You then try to tell yourself it will get better, you will find a solution, things will change, circumstances will change, the right people will appear, opportunities will come your way. Quite frankly, opportunities only come your way when you have made up your mind. So how do you make up your mind? How do you find that one thing that you’re supposed to do? What if you never find it? What if nothing ever changes? What if you never live upto your potential? What if all these years pass by and you’re still the same person in the same place, only with less time left on this planet. How come nobody recognizes your efforts? How come nobody is helping you achieve all the things you aspire to achieve? Why is life only unfair to you? WAKE UP. The only person that can help you is YOU. The only person you owe an explanation to is YOU. The only person who can truly hold you accountable is YOU. The only person that you have to live with for the rest of your life is YOU. And the guilt, the trauma, the pain, the let downs, should be fuel to your engine. Take care of that engine, take care of the only thing you can truly control; YOU. So take charge of that negative feeling, break it down, find its root, and then come up with solutions. Clever solutions, strategic solutions, realistic solutions with attainable results. Make it happen. Not tomorrow, not next week, but NOW. Because NOW is all we truly have. And your now determines your tomorrow. It starts with a feeling. Make that feeling count, shift your focus and thoughts, and that feeling can become the best reason to keep going.
