It’s Up To You

Nothing will work unless you do. ~ Maya Angelou

It’s true.  Think about it at the most basic levels., the tv set isn’t going to work if you don’t turn it on. If you don’t take care of your body with proper care and nutrition, it’s not going to work. It’s up to you to get it done. The other day, I wrote a blog called It Takes Hard Work, and it’s true. Doing anything requires work, and it’s up to you to decide just how much effort and work you want to put into it.

it's up to youI’ve spent a lot of time this week thinking about the changes I want to make in my life.  And I can think about them until the cows come home but unless I do the work, they’re not going to happen. It’s up to me, and it’s up to you.  If you want changes in your life, if you want things to be different, you need to put in the effort, make the changes and get it done

Why am I spending so much time thinking about the changes? Well because I want to make changes. However, I don’t know if I’m ready to put in the effort that is required.  A few years ago, I lost a lot of weight. I just one day decided I needed to do it and I was ready to put in the work. I just did it.  It was my choice, my decision and it was up to me.  I have lots of other things I need to work on, including losing more weight, but I don’t know if I’m ready to do the work.  It’s up to me, and for you, it’s up to you.  Nothing is going to work until you do. All the changes you want to make in your life, all the things you want to do, they’re not going to get done until you decide to do it. It’s up to you.
