Make Things Happen

In the last year I learnt that if you want to make the most out of life you have to go out and get it. If you have an idea of something you would like to achieve, places you would like to go, or a fun day out with friends and family jot it down on a notepad and then make it happen :-) The longer that you wait to do something, the less you will be motivated to complete it whether that be a piece of homework or saving up money to go travelling because at the end of the day if it something you either have to do or really want to do you are going to do it at some point so why not start right now? 

There are all sorts of books you can get to inspire or motivate you such as ones with lists to fill in or a scratch off map to help you discover new places to explore. My favourite book is called One Line A Day where you write down a snippet of your day every day for five years. I find that this really motivates me to do something interesting in my day or week so that when I look back in the future I can remember all of my accomplishments and exciting memories. 

This year I feel like I have really lived up to one of my favourite sayings, carpe diem, which translates into seize the day. I have been waking up earlier, doing yoga, saying yes more, trying new things, exploring new places and becoming more fearless. It is the little changes that you make which will help you make the most out of life. I know you can do it :-)  

I will leave you off with one of my favourite quotes:

"She turned her can'ts into cans and her dreams into plans"
