Let Me Just Say... Sometimes You Need To Take A Breath.

A big, huge, deep breath. A sigh, if you will. It'll make you feel better. Breathe in. Breathe out. Lungs fill. Lungs release.

Aaannnndddd.... ssiiiiiggggghhhhh....

For whatever reason, it needs to be done. You've got a bill that won't be paid in time. You're out of cash and your car needs gas. You just filled your cereal bowl only to find there's no milk left. You run for the train only to see it pulling away from the platform. You get to a certain point in your life and question what you've amounted to. Or what you haven't.

And you sigh.

The realisation, for the most part, isn't sudden. It doesn't really come as a suprise. You've seen it building up. Watched it progress ever so slowly, to the point that it's at today and you realise that it hasn't gone away on it's own, as much as you wanted it to. As much as you thought it was going to. As much as you hoped it would.

Deep breath in. Big sigh out.

Life; it sure is a funny thing, isn't it? All the plans we thought we'd make. All the ideas and dreams we had suddenly fall horribly short on all the hope we'd pinned them to. Then you begin to question if there's anything that can be done - Is it too late? Should I bother? What's the point?

That's not the attitude you need to have. You've come too far now to throw in the towel. So your back's against the rope. Who cares? Push yourself off it and spring yourself forward and throw a left hook here and a right hook there. So you fell to the floor and you're hurting. Stand up kid, and dust yourself off. There's more to life than what you've been wasting your years doing. So you've been pushed to the limit and your down on your knees. Don't you realise your in the perfect position to pray?

So do it. Be daring. Stop dreaming. Start working. Start... believing!

Don't quit yet. You've still got some good years left in you. You can't have come all this way for nothing, simply to throw your arms up in the air, turn your head, and go back in the direction you came. If no one ever took a chance, no one would've ever fulfilled a dream. Don't be like them. Take the path less travelled. You'll be thankful once you get to the end of your journey, wherever and whenever that will be.

Be more. Be bold. Be everything. Be you. Believe.

Change your thoughts and you'll change your world. All the while, don't forget to breathe!
