The power to do it

You can do it, when you have a good and meaningful reason. You can do it, if you commit to it and act on it and persist until the goal is reached.

You can start with what is, and make it into whatever you would like it to be. You can begin from where you are, and get to where you want to be.

Instead if idly letting the moments pass by, you can make full use of each one. Instead of complaining that you don't know what to do, you can experiment with different approaches until you get it right.

You don't ever have to settle for less than the very best from life. Because you can envision what you desire and you can work diligently to make it so.

Some would assume that the necessity of effort is a burdensome curse. Yet in reality it is one of life's greatest blessings.

For it is the necessity of effort that enables you to dream your most treasured dreams, and then to make them real. You have the power to do it, and right here, right now, is when you can.
