A Word of Advice

A Word of Advice
By Marsha Reid

I want to tell you
to go ahead and reach out
for what you want.

I want to tell you
to go ahead and try;
try to make the things happen
that you want to happen.

Along the way
there may be some pain,
disappointment and doubt,
but if you never try,
you’ll never know
what might have been,
and you’ll always wonder
“what if” and “if only…”

Even though you
might be scared,
you’ll have reason to be
proud of yourself
and glad that you dared

to reach out
for the dreams
that only you
can make come true.

The above poem signifies the reason and courage we all need to get started today on our new healthy lifestyle journey. All it takes is one little step to get started. One small step you can take today is compliment yourself at least once a day.

After reading this poem and maybe taking the small step of complimenting yourself, please let me know what feelings and ideas formed. I am looking forward to hearing from you. You can reach me by leaving a comment on the blog or sending an email to helen@loveyourselfcoaching.net.
