Do you have this?

Last night I was watching a show on Netflix called
The Ozarks. It’s about an accountant who’s laundering
money for the drug cartel and things get a little out of
hand. Okay, things can’t get a little out of hand with the
Cartel, but you know what I mean.

If you like shows like Breaking Bad or suspense/thriller
type stuff, I strongly recommend it.

Now, the important stuff..

So what’s a show called The Ozarks have to do with your
life?

More than you think.

Marty Byrde, played by Jason Bateman, has somewhat turned
this little town upside down. He’s taken over businesses so
he can launder his money. In the meantime he’s had to hire a
few people to help him.

One of these people is Ruth.

She comes from a ruff background. We’re talking trailer trash,
dad just got outta prison ruff. We’re talkin redneck of redneck
ruff.

Ruth thought getting a double-wide trailer might be as good
as life ever gets, if it even would ever get that good, before
she met Marty Byrde.

But now Marty is paying her a decent wage and she can
kinda see the light at the end of the rainbow. She can see
that there just might be a better life out there for her. Even
though Marty’s money is dirty, she’s willing to learn all
she can about earning more and making a better life for
herself.

Ruth is starting to believe.

That is until her convict dud(dad) starts telling her she’s
just a Langmore(her last name) and that life isn’t for her
type. He even tells her that they’re cursed. Stuck in the
dirt hole trailer park forever.

All she really wants is a nice house with flowers & maybe
a picket fence.

Now when her dud starts telling her she’s cursed you can
see it squeezing the life out of her dreams. But so far it
hasn’t stopped her. She’s still moving forward. She’s still
doing what Marty tells her because she knows the type of
lifestyle he has and she knows she can have it too if she
LISTENS and learns what he’s teaching. Even if she knows
she’s not going to work for him forever.

Now that she has seen the “other side” of life, she..

BELIEVES!

And that is one thing you have to have if you’re going to
change your life.

Belief.

You have to believe. Then you have to do. Then you will
have the life you desire.

Start believing,

Just Do It

Just Do ItJust do it.

You have been putting it off for too long and it’s been creating a lot of unnecessary stress for you.

Just do it.

Take a deep breath, get still. Visualize the worst case scenario. After doing that, see yourself in your mind’s eye being stronger, operating from a place of integrity and personal power as you release every negative habit, situation and person in your life. Stop the craziness now.

Just do it.

If you don’t do it now, you will regret it. If you don’t do it now, you will look back at life one day and ask yourself, ‘What took me so long? Why did I waste so much valuable time?’ If you don’t do it now, it will continue to take its toll on you mentally, emotionally, financially and physically. The cost is too high.

Just do it.

You are dying inside. You are unhappy, you are miserable and you can’t take it anymore.

Just do it.

It’s time to be courageous enough to live your truth. Make the move to express a part of yourself that you have been suppressing; that part of yourself that you have kept in the closet and now wants to get out. It’s time for the authentic you to come forth. Take your stand in the world and do, for once in your life, that which gives your life and your heart the greatest sense of freedom, fulfillment and purpose.

Just do it.

You have greatness within you.

You Reap What You Sow

If that doesn’t inspire you to take action I’m not sure anything will. Les Brown was born in an abandoned building with a twin brother and adopted by the sweet giving, Ms Mamie Brown. All the odds were stacked against him but he didn’t care. He had a dream and a goal and now he’s one of the most recognized names in the world of personal development and motivational speaking.

Les could’ve let his circumstances hold him back, but instead he used them as a driving force to make life better for him and everyone around him.

Change is hard. Taking risks is scary. Stepping outside of that comfort zone isn’t easy. But that comfort zone probably isn’t that comfortable either. I’d even venture to bet that you’re in the comfort zone you’re in because of how someone told you to live your life. And/or you’re living your life to make someone else happy while you drown in misery.

Only you know what it is that you want and need to do that’s going to improve your life. It’s either an action that adds something or someone to improve your life or an action that eliminates something, or someone, from your life. Either way…

…JUST DO IT!
