‎ I just sat down in bed, thinking about something that's been disturbing me and I'm writing about it now at 8:00 pm to post at midnight letters. I sometimes get distracted when I'm doing something and a thought pops into my head. I look around me and see that some things aren't moving the way I want them to. why am I waiting for things to happen instead of making them happen myself? I Just talk, make plans and sit down waiting for it to happen, which it doesn't make sense. When actually I'm the one who needs to make it happen. Am I right to think this way?


‎We pray to God with faith but often fail to take the necessary actions. We just sit back and wait for God to do it, which isn't how it's supposed to be. when we notice that things aren't changing around us, what do we do? We need to take action and take responsibility for making things response. I've noticed that I make excuses and procrastinate when I need to take action. I believe this is what holds people back. If we keep acting like that, it'll be a habit, and I bet we'll have a lot of issues in the future.




‎I'm thinking about what I need to cut out this year to push myself out of my comfort zone. As a growing woman in her 20s, I know this is a great opportunity to take risks, start something new and make it happen. I shouldn't play it safe or hold back, instead I should take action and put my out there for people to see what I'm capable of.


‎I know that sometimes we get confused and don't know what to do. That's when it's helpful to seek out a mentor or an elder who can offer guidance and encouragement, so we can learn to make our own decisions. Everyone has their own life to live and the path we choose to follow is the one that aligns with our decisions and desires. Mentors can give us advice and words of encouragement, ultimately, the decisions are ours to make. It's up to us to take ownership of our lives and make the choices that are right for us.


‎It's okay to take your time when making decisions for yourself but it's also to build momentum and let go of past regrets so you can focus on the future. There are still many challenges ahead of us and we need to prepare ourselves to face them head-on. By doing so, we can build our confidence and stand firm in our decisions. Sometimes I let fear hold me back, but I remind myself that if I don't take action, I'll never achieve my goals.
‎So, the best thing I can do is to face my fears and take actions despite the uncertainty. And even if I make mistakes, I can always start again and learn from them. Making sacrifices and taking calculated risks can have a profound impact in our lives. It may seem daunting, but many people who have achieved greatness have taken risks and stepped out of their comfort zones.

‎Finally done writing my post at 9:00 pm and waiting to post at midnight letters. If I want to achieve my goals, I need to take actions and make progress. I might have strong faith, but I know that faith without action is dead. So, I believe that when I set my mind to something, I should commit to it and see it through. Don't put it off, take consistent action towards my goals and I'm confident that I'll see positive results.
