You aren’t meant to watch from the sidelines

I know that times can get hard.

I understand that you won’t always feel like making any moves. Sometimes, existing solely in the comfort of your own bubble seems like the best way to live life.

But, life is to precious to not appreciate it.

Look around you, there’s so much more to life that meets the eye. It’s in our nature to go exploring; to experience new things. You won’t know what you like until you do, so you shouldn’t shy away from stepping out your bubble. It’s not only okay, but you should be stepping out your comfort zone.

Every day is a new opportunity to live; another chance to make the most out of life.

Don’t just sit on the sidelines and let life pass you by.

You are the only one who can make a difference on in your life. It is up to you to make changes happen; to take action and make magic happen.

  • Start making plays: begin to focus on what you can work on. If you feel you can work on social skills then plan to hangout with some friends. Perhaps you want to improve your physique, then plan on going to the gym or working out at home.
  • Take shots: Don’t be afraid to make moves. Whether it’s asking out that boy or girl, or making your way into a gym, you need to force yourself to take action. Planning is step zero, but once you finally act on the idea it becomes step one. All you need is that first step.
  • Keep training: now that you’ve managed to act on an idea, now it’s up to you to keep building on it. You won’t build a house with only one brick, but as long as you keep placing them down one by one, you’ll keep building walls, and then eventually start on the roof, until finally you end up with a beautiful house, signifying that you’ve accomplished the goal you set out to do.

It’s not worth allowing life to pass you by. Make the most out of the opportunity you’re given every single day.

You are capable of more than you know.

Craft your own legend.

There are unlimited ways to leave an impact on this world, but if you sit back and spectate, then you’ll run out of time.

The most valuable, yet most limited resource we have.

Don’t let it go to waste.

Use it to your advantage and create greatness.

Greatness is within you, but you must take action. Aim high, believe in yourself, and begin taking steps to achieve your goals.

Don’t let this opportunity go to waste.

Life isn’t a spectator’s sport.

You got this!
