Go with what you have

This moment is here, the situation is as it is, so go with it. Your best option is to adopt a positive, enthusiastic attitude, and to move forward with what you have.

Wishing, complaining, blaming and harboring resentment won’t do much other than waste your time. Instead, use that time to use what’s available to you and make things better.

Your goals and dreams are too important to put off until conditions are perfect. Go with the conditions as they are, and get busy right now with making those dreams come true.

There’s much to distract you, and it’s easy to make perfectly reasonable excuses out of those distractions. Yet you can choose instead to focus on the task at hand, using your diligent efforts to create what you desire from what you have.

Go with what you have, from where you are, with the powerful passion of authentic purpose. And you can end up anywhere you choose.
