"You can so easily talk yourself out of things, so spend more time talking yourself into them."

You are done waiting. Today is the day that you continue to accomplish the work to becoming you, becoming what you never thought you could, becoming who people said you couldn't, and becoming what you've desired all along.

There is nothing left to do, but complete the first steps for the next moves. And you can do it all! You can so easily talk yourself out of things, so spend more time talking yourself into them.

You can so easily talk yourself out of things, so spend more time talking yourself into them.

Don't worry if you miss a day or lose your momentum; as long as you are alive then everyday is another chance. There is no particular day for you to begin so it hasn't passed nor is it yet to come; it is here now. Look behind you at the road you've traveled. Think about who you have served, who you have encouraged, and how you have made change even if in just one place or with one person. If you've done it before then you can do more.

Everything wasn't always easy, but the challenges built you into better. Remind yourself of how awesome you are and don't let creeping doubts distract. You are smart enough, strong enough, and ready enough.
