If Only...

Stop saying "If only" and start doing! 

It is great to make goals and have visions for our life. As a matter of fact it is healthy to have goals and visions so life does not just pass us by. Goals and visions give us a since of purpose. However, it is not good to continue to put off these goals and visions.

So many of us sit around and think "if only" then I could do what I need to do. For example, some people say if only I had a million dollars my life would be so much better or if only I was married. If only I had went to college or if only my kids would act right. If only I could lose 10 pounds. If only, if only, if only, if only....

Do not wait for "if only" to come. Enjoy where you are today and if you do have an "if only" do something about it. I am not saying go out and marry the first person you see if getting married is your "if only" but what I am saying is start taking steps to prepare yourself for marriage. Read books about marriage, get to know married couples to get tips from them and so on. The same thing applies for people who want to lose weight or go back to school, start moving toward those goals today.

Even for someone who wants to be a millionaire. Start making goals, plans and visions then put them to action. Start reading books about money, investing or starting your own business depending on your goal. Set a goal, research, start taking steps to achieve that goal, then endure. Endure the beginning stages, test and trials, do not shrink back. Stay consistent and before you know it that "if only" will become a reality. Stop saying "if only" and start taking action.

Another key thing to achieving your "if only" is do not let anyone talk you out of it. No matter what is going on around you. If family members come to you discouraging your "if only" saying it is not a vision or goal, just turn your head then keep going. If people tell you that is not possible say yes it is and keep going. Some people may stop talking to you because you stand up for your "if only" goals but keep going. Adopt the Energizer Bunny mentality and just keep going, going, going, going...then BAM. Your "if only" finally is in reality. You lost that 10 pounds, you started that business, you graduated from school with honors, and so on.

Don't let anyone stand in your way of the "if only" goal, including yourself. Stop saying "if only" and start taking action.
