• +/No excuses pls!

  
  
  

  If someone was to ask you what makes you proud?  What have you achieved?  What of your goals have you accomplished?  Would you be able to answer truthfully?  Would you be able to say something worthwhile?  If you had to be accountable for the life you have lived, would you have something to show for the years that you have been given?

  
  

  If you only had tomorrow, or a month, or even a year?  Would that convince you to try harder?  To be all that you can be? Would it finally get you off your ass and make something of yourself?  Or would you sit and feel sorry for yourself?  Would you be lazy and whine and promise to get on with it? Or would you take control of your own life? 

  
  

  Did you know that within all of us lies all that we can be?  No one, not even one has an excuse to procrastinate.  The only person you are fooling is yourself if you think that there are really setbacks in this world.  I have seen people with no limbs drive, no feet yet they can run.  I have seen blind people read.  If people who are handicapped can overcome it all, then pray tell what excuse you have? 

  
  

  So next time you set a goal, please complete it, because the only person you are letting down is yourself.  The only person who is losing out is you!  I am telling you Zeliah, you need to stop mopping around.  This way of life is not helping you, so set your goals then follow through.  Don't be too easy on yourself, because any excuse is lame, in fact one definition of excuse is to free yourself of obligation, isn't that insane?  You are responsible for yourself or did you forget that???

  
  

  There you go.  Now you know why I have been busy.  I've been lecturing myself about my own procrastination.  I decided today that I would make a list of everything I wanted to achieve in a year, starting with what I want to achieve each month.  Try it for yourself, and then complete them, set realistic goals, and follow through. I'll post my list on my next entry. Goodluck to everyone.

  Cliff Notes Zeliah review I want to say a heartfelt thank you to Cliff for his very kind review.  I started going to Cliffs site almost 6 months ago, and I often go there because he has so many software reviews, and downloads, and wait for it they are all FREE! and useful, and that, for a geek girl like me is like a child in a candy store. So go and have a look at his site, because there is something for anyone who has a computer.  Go check quick, tell him I sent you and I'm sure he will even give you a hot drink and a comfy seat while you browse around.

  
  

  I was just writing this entry when I get an email from a dear friend and its amazing how the sweetest of words can lift spirits.  Take the time to email someone you love, a relative or a friend and make them smile.  It really does make a difference.  I know I asked you all to do a lot of things in this entry, but what can I tell you I am demanding!  Now pat your head and rub your tummy and hop on one leg with your eyes crossed (he! he! I'm just kidding )  After that witty interlude I am off to check on all of you.  I missed reading your entries.  I mean it, most of you have better social lives than me.  (first goal ---> improve se....uhmmm I meant social life.
