If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.

- Jackie "Moms" Mabley

 

 

Can you imagine not doing what you're doing in your life right now, but doing something completely different?  Something exciting, fun, even risky, like quitting your job and traveling around the world.  Or working part-time and going to school full time to study scuba diving or basket weaving.  Or owning your own home, business, plane or boat.  If you can imagine it, why aren't you doing it?  I'll tell you why.  Because the moment you think about it, you think about all the reasons you can't.  "How will I pay my bills?"  "Who will take care of my family?"  "Where will I get money?"  "What will people say?"  Well, here's another question for you, How do you ever expect to be happy or at peace if you stay where you are?  If you don't allow yourself to dream, to dare, to move up, out, forward; how will you ever know what you are really capable of?  Look at it this way, what's the worse that can happen?  You could end up right where you started, doing exactly what you are doing.

Oh, what the heck, go for it anyway.
