Giving Me An Ultimatum

You CAN have it, you know
Piano
Fitness
Poetry
Career change
You're the only thing holding yourself back
Always stop short of the really hard work
It's more fun in the fantasy stage
The work part is....work!!
If we just imagine it, we can't fail
But you know
That you want and need more
So, get off your ass
Keep practicing the piano
More poems, and submit them!
Get to the gym
Sculpt yourself
And your life
Think through what you want to do
And take decisive action
You're the only thing
Holding yourself back
Stop fantasizing
Imagination is a great catalyst
Gets our creative juices flowing
But if it stops there
It's just a pretty story
Move your ass
And show yourself
What you can do

This is precisely correct, as I know from experience. I so often stop short of reading others blogs, and when I do, I most often discover that I'm missing something good... as in this case.

Thank you for your words.
