Self-Motivation

I have a ton of self-help, self-motivating and self-improvement and get rich and gets successful books.  But I really just need to take a step back from that right now and reflect on my own life in the present and what I am doing RIGHT NOW.  Where I am at and how I feel about what I am doing, which, all-in-all, is pretty good.  I'm old enough now and experienced in life enough now to also know, that God has a plan for everything and everyone and He does know what He is doing.  Everything in life has a purpose and everything will work out in the end.

Second of all, if I am going to be an artist, a writer, a photographer, a tennis player, a painter, whatever, I need to just get off my ass and do it already.  I have to quit saying, "One day I have to write or draw or take pictures or paint or whatever," and actually do it.  Make time to DO IT!!!  That goes for me and wanting to learn how to taste wine.  I should read that Wine Bible book I got and sign up for wine tasting classes.  If they are too expensive now, well than I have to save up for next time.  It's as simple as that.  How's that for self-motivation, see, I don't need books to tell me what to do.  I already know what to do.  I'm doing it right now.  One day, I will write a book and it will sell millions.  Even, end up on the New York Times Bestseller List.  And if she's still around, "Oprah's Book club."
