#newbeginnings

Have you ever wanted to be able to start over?
           if you had the chance to start your life over, and do everything again would you? Or do you like the way your life has turned out? I know lots of people say that they wouldn't change anything because every decision has led them right to where they are today, and formed them into the person they are today. I think thats great and all... but what if you didn't like the person you are today? Would you want to start over then?

I think back on my life and there are definitely moments in my life that I wish I could re-do, maybe take advantage more of the time I had with certain people, time I can never get back. Definitely some moments I possibly wish I hadn't had.

There's a video out there called "Dear 16 yr. old me" It's actually an awareness video for Melanoma Skin Cancer. I love the video and I encourage everyone to check it out, I thought it was such a a good idea for a campaign. But what I love the most is the idea of if you could tell the 16 year old version of yourself anything... what would you tell you? There is a lot I wish I could tell my younger self, a lot I would warn myself about. But you can never go back in time, you can never send that message to your younger self. But you can tell yourself now. If you want to have a different life, if you want to be a different person than you are now. Then what are you waiting for? Stop wishing you were different, start taking steps towards being the person you wish you were.

AND STOP PROCRASTINATING!
Honestly! (I can be pretty bad though) But seriously how many times have you told yourself that tomorrow you'll do something. Well I have a question for you...
WHY NOT TODAY?
And here you go starting to make a list of excuses, "reasons", you can't start right now. But the truth is "Yesterday, you said tomorrow" Well Tomorrow is now today, don't put it off another day. If you want to spend more time with your family.... SPEND MORE TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY! Take it from me, your family probably wants to spend more time with you too.
If you want to get in shape for summer, go get in shape for summer. If you want to get better marks, start studying, if you want to have more friends start talking to more people. If you want to see the world change, start doing something about it!
STOP WISHING AND START DOING!


See it's spring time where I am. And I LOVE spring! I really do! I think it's because it feels like everything comes to life again. It feels like new beginnings. If there is ever a time that inspires me to go out and become the person I want to be it's spring.

So as I start taking steps in becoming the person I want to be, I want you to start taking steps to being the person YOU want to be!
