Cat & Mouse

In this life, you just have to go after what you really want if you want to get it. What or who will stop you: your demanding job, your dysfunctional family, your bad back? Those are excuses for the weak, the mice. You can tuck your tail and go running scared into the murky abyss of mediocrity that makes everyone around you very comfortable with the underwhelming life they lead, or you can take control. Do what you need to do to get what you want. You already know the most important thing there is to know: nothing can keep you from what you really want if you really want it bad enough. Even if that means getting up early, before dawn, and before your alarm, even if it means staying up late, in silence with no sound or disruption but the clicking of your keyboard, burning the midnight oil until the birds chirp, do that. Nothing will stop you when you know what you want and will be damned if you do not get it. In this moment all of your attention needs to be set on your intention. Make sure your efforts always match your passion and remember, no one will stop you unless you do. Wake up every morning ready to set out to make it so. Then, tomorrow, and every day after that decide to wake up early and get to work. Put on your running sneakers, rehearse, make those calls, build it, or open your laptop, and do it until you are worn out and depleted from it, satisfied with your effort for the day and determined to go even harder tomorrow. Now, how will you show up in your life? What are you determined to do? Who will you be this year, the cat or the mouse? ~For more positive posts fb.me/TheAnswerKey & tweet me _TheAnswerKey daily!
