Dakota's Motivating Tips,
Where I give you advice about life and moving forward.
What is going on everybody,
I hope you are having an absolutely incredible day today and that it is going wonderfully.
In the last episode we went over visualizing your perfect day which was like a part 2 to visualizing the wind.
Make sure that you are visualizing having a good day instead of having a bad day because the more you think about the good things the more your day will be better.
But if you think about the bad things during your day it is just going to make it feel worse and worse.
So make sure every day that when you wake up visualize what is your perfect day.
And that is what we talked about in the last episode.
But in this episode we are going to be talking about your future.
Are you thinking about your future where you want to be?
Are you thinking about where you want to be in a year?
Where do you want to be in 5 years?
If this is something that has not crossed your mind this is something that needs to.
Because we should be thinking about where we want to be.
Because if you are not thinking about it then you probably won't ever change your life.
You need to be thinking about where you want to be and have a goal as to where you want to be.
Because if you don't set a goal then you will just end up being exactly where you are right now.
So make sure that you are setting a goal where you want to be in a year,
Where you want to be in 5 years,
Or whatever time it may be.
Just make sure you are setting goals because if you are not setting goals then you are just going to be in the same place that you are.
Because you are not going to have anything to strive for and you are not going to have anything to work towards.
So make sure you are setting goals.
We are not promised years of life but right now is the time you do have.
So take this time,
Don't take it for granted.
Don't wait,
Don't procrastinate.
Do the things you need to do because all you really have is right now.
All you have is right now.
Get it done right now and not later.
Tell the ones you love right now and not later.
Pursue your dreams right now and not later.
Change your life right now and not later.
This is the perfect time to change your life.
So why not use this time to do it?
We have so so so much time right now.
So don't be wasting on something that won't matter in a week,
What won't matter in a year.
Start working towards your dreams.
Build a life that you want.
Build a life where you can be happy because that's all we truly want is to be happy.
All of us.
Work towards what will make you happy.
If it's being with somebody,
Tell them how you feel.
Tell them that you love them.
Might not work out how you want it to but at least you won't have any regrets.
At least in the future you won't regret not saying what you did.
It's so much better to say that you tried instead of having regrets that you never did.
You don't want to be from 20 years from now you don't want to be regretting not doing something.
So do it now so you don't have those regrets.
Your future will never be how you dream it to be unless you work for it now.
Stay focused even when there's so many distractions in the world.
Yeah there might be a party this weekend but that party is not going to do anything for you.
So instead of going out to party or anything like that,
Work towards your dreams because this will bring so much happiness into your life to see that you are growing and you are actually going somewhere.
Work hard now and then you can have the life that you want later and you'll be able to play.
I'm not saying that you can't play right now but if it's something you're doing all the time then you need to step back a little bit and work harder.
Also this talks about social media.
If social media is a distraction for you and you're on there all the time and you're wasting all your time on there,
Take a step back and just get off it for a little bit if it's something you need to do.
Social media is an amazing tool to help grow but if you're just spending all your time on there and it's not really doing anything for you,
You need to take a step back and take a break from it.
This will bring a lot of happiness into your life anyway.
I know when I'm not on social media a lot I feel so much happier because I'm not worrying about all this other stuff.
Has nothing to do with me anyway.
So if you need to take a step back from social media then do it now and see how your life changes.
The hardest part of getting a ship going is the start.
It'll never be easy at first.
However it will start to get easier eventually.
So get through the rough patch right now.
Get this boat going.
It's not going to be easy,
It'll never be easy to start something new.
It never has been and never will be for anybody.
It might be easy for some people,
A little bit easier for some people but it's still not easy.
And then as you start doing this thing more and more it'll get easier and easier.
Then that will be something so easy for you that won't even bother you.
Then you'll find something new and you have to get the boat going again.
Then you have to go through the hard part and it'll get easier and easier and it'll go like that more and more and more.
This is something you need to do over and over and over.
Keep growing,
Keep growing,
Keep growing and keep growing.
Growth will bring you happiness into your life I promise you that.
So continue to grow,
Continue to strive for more and continue to make your life better.
Go for those dreams.
Tell that person you love them.
Do the things you need to do.
This will bring happiness into your life.
What you do now will reflect your future.
I want you to think about that a little bit.
What you do now will reflect your future.
So if you're out there playing that will reflect your future.
You're not going to really be anywhere in life.
But if you're out there working hard right now you'll see your dreams come true and you'll be where you want to be and then you'll be making more dreams and you'll strive for them.
So make sure you're doing the things you need to do right now and not later.
You have the power to do anything that you want.
So take the time to do it.
Do it now.
Anyway I hope that you have an absolutely incredible day today and that it goes wonderfully.
I just want everyone to know that you're absolutely amazing and that whatever you decide to do is your choice and don't let anyone ever sway it.
You're an amazing person and you can do anything.
I hope your day goes wonderfully and we'll see you guys on the next episode.
