Stop for a second, take a look around and ask yourself if this is the quality of life they had hoped. If the answer is "No", then my question to you is: "Why not?" "What do you do to change your life?" Most people who were asked what they did to change their lives and say: "It is useless because ......" and will .... Excuses.
But do not be that way. The first step out of a ditch is to stop making excuses and take responsibility for the quality of your life. You can change your life situation today. How do I know? I know because others have done. There will always be obstacles, but nothing insurmountable. The only requirement is the desire to change. Mark Twain said, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog." If you have a "desire" is strong enough, you can get almost anything you set your mind to.
The second step out of a ditch is to come in faith, like the Nike commercial says, "Just do it." There is no time to change course. May not succeed at first, but you must keep trying. It will come with continued success. Remember the old saying: "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." Do not worry about making a mistake. Albert Einstein said: "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
Even out. Take a chance, and William Durant, founder of General Motors Corporation, said: "Forget past mistakes. Forget the failures. Forget everything except what you do now and do it."
