Challenge Yourself

As 2015 continues to move steadily forward and June will soon mark a half year gone, the goals that some of us set earlier in the year beg for review.  Whatever your goals – losing weight, finding a new job, starting a hobby, getting that business off the ground…. – it’s time now to take a hard look at any of the steps you have made and accomplishments thus far.

Ready?  No?

So many with good intentions find their growth stunted or ambitions blocked by the various hurdles life throws our way.  It’s so easy to become so focused and involved on others that the time we promised ourselves soon takes a back seat. 


Too busy!  Not enough time!  I can’t get to it!  It’s hopeless! ... and so on and so on.  Well, when?  When will you give yourself permission to take the time for those very things that consume your dreams?  Do your homework, research, take the first step toward whatever it is that has been placed on your heart and go for it!  Create a schedule.  Write down your goals and post sticky notes to remind you to take step 1, step 2.  I have always heard “nothing beats a failure but a try,”  so what’s stopping you?

Today, I challenge you to pick up where your dream first began.  Decide if you really want to be a part of the positive life changes you envision for yourself.  Encourage yourself.  To get started, check out some motivational quotes to help you along the way.
