The very next time you feel like you are being kicked when you are down remember that Your life is Not in Vain. You are not on this planet for you alone. Twisting your ankle is simply an opportunity to learn how to keep someone from breaking their neck or worse.
There is a Time to be Tired, but if you don't have anything you want, now is not that time. When I get tired or frustrated I have to remind myself that there are people who have more to deal with than I do. Even at your worst someone would die for the opportunities that you have. Use those opportunities for everything that they are worth. These gifts that you have can benefit yourself or others and should not go to waist. There is a Time to be Tired, but trust me, now is not that time.
Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, concentrating on problems holds you back. Every second that you spend complaining is a second that you have stolen from your dream, your progress and your success. Forget the Mess or forget your dreams.
Many times we hesitate to move toward our dreams. We say I have to work ,go to school, deal with stress and other miscellaneous bla bla bla. The truth is you can spend five minutes on your dream a day and be closer to your goals than half of the world, and much closer than you would be by making excuses. If you spend a fraction of your day on your purpose or dream it will make the world you live in a different place and change your life. You can be who you want to be and You don't need all day!
