Your words bring to mind the words of Edgar Guest:
"There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to prophesy failure, There are thousands to point out to you one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you. But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Just take off your coat and go to it; Just start in to sing as you tackle that thing -- that 'cannot be done,' and you'll do it."
I am on the cusp of letting the old woman in or becoming the best version of myself. What is written here is no coincidence that I read this at exactly the time I am at a crossroads. I could accept comfort where I insulate myself from people, binge watch netflix series, wear comfy clothes only, rarely drive, and give up on learning new things ( like I can still get in shape even though I will be 70 soon). I think if I impose some discomfort on myself now I will avoid major discomfort later. It feels good to curl up on the sofa and not have to work but soon I won’t be able to work and that would kill me. Thank you, Camille for writing this article. I need to get off the sofa now and get ready for the new day.
Regina, yes, get up and get ready for a new start! Every day is a new chance to begin fresh. It is never too late to become the best version of yourself...I think I have a new post! You have all the tools you need inside you—keep going. THANK YOU for taking the time to reach out and inspire me.
