I am blessed to know the people in my life because every conversation I have with them is a motivational one that leaves me inspired to do more. But inspiration can only do so much. Inspirational conversations can ignite the inner fire within you that churn the gears of imagination in your mind, but what happens when the thoughts just remain…thoughts? It takes more than a great idea to risk & start something new, it takes commitment & people you can rely on to help you make that happen.
Your whole life, we live in an idealistic dream - a dream where everything is possible. And you believe this, you verbally communicate this & you whole heartedly preach this but do you actually test those boundaries? The boundaries of infinite possibility?
How many times do we talk about our dreams?
Stop Talking.
Just Do It.
Right Now. Stop Thinking. Start Doing.
What do you wish you were doing? What are you waiting for?
Only the Do-ers Can Preach.
One day, you will meet someone who has lived their life just doing what their heart tells them to & it is then, you will realize & truly believe that everything IS possible. Surround yourself with inspirational people and you shall too, be an inspiration. When that happens, share with others your story so that the dream is one that is attainable for us all. I have been so lucky to have met a very aspirational friend in the last few months that have taught me the value of taking chances in this short life we have. He can do it, why can’t I?
The Hypocrite.
Well sort of. One foot in the door and one foot out the other. Figuring out where your heart lies is hardest. I’ve spent the last few months figuring this out and don’t think sitting here writing about it is going to change anything. Opportunities are created & that is what I intend to do. I used to allow my fear to defer many decisions & all my life I’ve been given choices - but not anymore.
What I am listening to right this moment? Inspired by the same person who has been “just doing it” his whole life – take a listen to Elias.

Hey Angie,
Interesting thoughts but as you say – where is the action? Start small and work your way up.
Just wanted to share this small thought.
BTW, I want to meet this person that has inspired you so much…
All the best,
Alex

Great post Angie!
I think having a solid long term vision that REALLY EXCITES you is a must in “Following Your Dreams” (or Bliss for that matter).
Living life by OUR OWN ACCORD and OUR OWN STANDARDS is the ideal situation isn’t it? But I digress.
In “Crush It!” – Gary Vee talks about Legacy being greater than Currency. What’s the Legacy that you’ll be leaving behind? Having that sort of long term vision and more importantly asking what sort of MEANING you derive can give you the answers to perservere, to take a chance and do what you’ve always wanted to do.
@Alex I think by “Just Do It!”, Angie impled taking action.
I think I’m going to revive my “galvanizd.com” blog – I *love* writing about personal development..
