You Really Can Do It!

I once posted on Facebook about how I came to the place of believing that whatever I put my mind to I can do it.

I published my poetry book in 2017 and it actually didn’t take long to write it. I would say a good 3-5 months and that included the editing and publishing. I had set a goal to write one poem a day and then I did it.

Once I published it and had real copies in my hand, I knew from then on nothing could stop me. The only person who could hinder me was myself.

This journey was an eye-opener for me. It’s one thing to think of something or dream about something but to see it come to fruition is another thing . I now keep a proof copy of my book with me for motivation or encouragement. I keep it in my bag/purse as a physical reminder of what’s possible.

I’m sharing all this to say whatever dream or goal you have, you really can achieve it! I know it sounds cliche but it ‘s the truth.

We live in a time where you have the freedom to pursue your dreams. And there are so many resources out there too! You just have to step out.

First, decide what you want or what goals you want to accomplish. Then, figure out what steps you need to get there. (It’s best to write all this out).

The bottom line is if you really want something, you have to do what it takes to get it. That looks different for everyone. Maybe you need to step away from social media to focus on your goals. Maybe you need to write every day. Again, it’s up to you. Dreams don’t just happen. We have to be doers.

So what are you waiting for?
