Get up and go

You can do it when you set your mind to it. You can do it when you commit your time to it.

You can do it when you stride confidently past your doubts. You can do it when you decide not to plunge into the pit of meaningless distractions.

You can do it when you have a good, meaningful reason. You can do it when you keep going for as long as necessary.

You can do it when your desire for achievement overpowers your desire for comfort, convenience, and self-pity. You can do it when you go ahead and take the next step no matter what just happened.

You can do it when you realize how worthless and debilitating the excuses have become. You can do it when you remind yourself that a single action is more effective than a thousand complaints.

What great good do you envision for your world, for your life? You can do it when you are ready, when you muster the will, when you get up and go.

— Ralph Marston
