Let it be you

Like many of the great personal development leaders, Jim Rohn pointed out that what happens to us is not what determines our future, it is what we do about it.
Someone, somewhere,
is getting rich,
is getting healthy,
is improving their life.
His recommendation: Let it be you!
- Someone is going to start a business. So why not let it be you?
- Someone is going to decide to improve their relationships, to schedule meaningful time with their friends. So why not let it be you?
- Someone is going back to school to improve their life, to set a goal to read a book each week for the next year. So why not let it be you?
- Someone is going to look in the mirror and see they need to lose a little weight and make the decision to become healthy, to join an aerobics class and improve their health. So why not let it be you?
I know you get the point!
Every day people are improving their lives. Whether you do or not doesn’t matter to those who do. They are going to do it, regardless. It is simply a matter of a decision being made. Let that person be you!
So how? Three simple actions:
- Make a commitment to work on yourself. Are you going to improve or stay the same? The decision about what you will become is made each and every day.
- Make a plan. It can be simple. Save a dollar a day. Walk a mile a day. Read an article a day. Those are simple plans with achievable goals.
- Begin to act. All the great ideas without action are useless. People with great ideas are a dime a dozen. People who act on their ideas are the select few.
Someone will do it. Someone is doing it!
Why not let it be you?
What one goal do you want
to commit to, plan for, and act on?

I hope this doesn’t sound ghoulish but at this point in my life (76yo) I am not making big plans for “doing” things. There is this concept of liberation by conscious dying and that is what I am focusing on. This means paying attention to what is really important in my life, getting closer to God and letting go of the attachments of this world. I don’t know how much time I have left so I am just taking it one day at a time. I want a peaceful transition and that is what I am working toward.
Mary Kay, the COMMITMENT you have made to your final peaceful transition; the PLAN of focusing on what is important to you and getting closer to God, and the ACTION of letting go of attachment serves you well! I don’t think it’s ghoulish but, rather, meaningful!
I’ve joined the ranks of those who truly believe we have dominion over ALL things, right up until our final breath in this experience. Why not?
I don’t know what God has planned for me to be doing or how much time there is to do it. I’m 80 so I figure I’d better get busy and find out!
Beautiful and inspirational All of you!
