Sneak Up On Your Dreams

I don’t feel like a particularly high energy or motivated person.  I was more so when I was younger, but now I think I’m tired from parenting so much!  I want a calmer life and I don’t have as much energy to throw myself into things.  This knowledge of myself makes me feel like I may not be able to drive myself to my goals.  I feel like I need more energy and more oomph to push myself up the hill.  I feel a bit like giving up.

Then I remember, what got me to where I am now and that motivation and oomph is not the method I’ve chosen.  My path is slow, but sure, attacking tiny pieces of my goals in order to get where I’m going slowly, but surely.  When I start to feel like I don’t have enough charisma or just plain energy to be some kind of star, I remember that most people are not Barack Obama.  Most people are just regular people.  Yes, I’m sure it’s very cool to be the kind of person that people just hover around like moths to a flame, but the rest of us can get what we want as well.

You don’t have to be a “big” personality to get what you want.  You can be whoever you are and still get what you want if you work on it bit by bit.
