Step into the arena! Start taking steps to start the business, write the book, finish school, start school, change your diet, begin the exercise plan, be kinder.....Whatever thoughts you have or whatever visions have been placed on the back-burner...Now is the time to start.
Don't be the spectator, sitting back criticizing the deeds of everyone else, who was at least BOLD enough to take a chance....to actually, get in the arena and test the waters and see what the end results would be. Don't allow your resentment of those who've actually stepped up to the plate cause you to be the critical spectator.....Don't just think about, dream about and talk about what should be done ...Get in the arena and take the hard blows....setbacks heal in time, but at least you'll know what you're made of and you'll know that at least YOU Tried, so .... Step into the Arena!
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt
