Hello? Is that the Universe talking?
Sometimes, it just seems like someone or something is trying to get a message to you.
I receive daily emails containing positive quotes, inspirational messages, and motivational subjects from different websites. Today, they all seemed to have a similar theme:
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face . . . You must do the thing you cannot do." ~Eleanor Roosevelt
“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed." -Theodore Roosevelt
"No matter how big and tough a problem may be, get rid of confusion by taking one little step toward solution. Do something."~George Nordenholt~
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)
What a great message for the New Year! Take action, do something, and don’t worry if you fail—action is better than sitting on your butt! So what if you fail, you are actually choosing failure by choosing not to take action.
One of the most inspirational stories of the past decade has been the story of someone who took action when she saw a need. Maggie Doyne lives by these quotes. She did it by taking one step at a time. She has saved the lives of many children because she realized she “must do the thing you cannot do” and because of that, she won the “Do Something” 2009 award http://www.dosomething.org/programs/awards . Read about her inspiring mission at http://www.blinknow.org/ and follow her blog http://maggiedoyne.squarespace.com/.
Today marks a new day, a new year, a new decade. What are the things that you’ve always wanted to do . . . . but didn’t? What are some of your dreams that you thought you would never be able to do for whatever the reason (insert here—“I’m not smart enough, don’t have enough money, time, energy, or support”. You get the idea—we all have dreams but put them away for reasons that only WE know). Write down what you really want to do and then take action . . . . . “Do Something” to get it done!

Hi, Mimi: I've met you through someone following my blog. My dream was to always put my Christian children's books back into circulation. In the beginning it was totally unaffordable to reprint. New options have opened up and now in early 2010 the books will be back in circulation! I am thrilled and moving forward! I'm on http://www.Twitter.com/OrvillesMom, and http://www.donnaperugini.blogspot.com, ..come on over!
