This is one of those motivational sayings that you find on little plaques, mugs, cards and in my case-a key ring. I’ve been wondering how effective these types of sayings are for people.

Do they really motivate people to take action or are they just feel good words that make you feel great for the moment, but then reality sets in and nothing happens.

Life remains the same and a year later you find yourself in the same place, the same position, having accomplished nothing.

I am an optimist, so I find myself wanting to believe, the sayings, the proverbs, the inspirational thoughts.

Maybe it’s not the words, but it is us who don’t really believe that even though we “wish” it, we “dream” it, we just don’t put forth the effort to “do” it.
