I’m going to write a book.

I’m going to exercise.

I’m going to pay off this debt.

I’m going to quit my job.

I’m going to build a start up.

I’m going to stop smoking.

I’m going to journal daily.

I’m going to ask her out.

I’m going to listen more.

I’m going to meet people outside of work.

I’m going to move to a new city.

I’m going to meditate each morning.

I’m going to…

Great. Get to work.
