Just Do It

Alarm goes off, I hit delay, tell myself maybe not today. Got a list, got things to try, but excuses line up right on time. I know the feeling way too well, waiting for the perfect spell. But perfect never shows its face, it only steals another day. It won’t get easier if I wait, the door won’t open on its own. Five, four, three, two, one, take a breath and then I run. No more talking, no more doubt, this is where I start right now. Five, four, three, two, one, heart beats faster, here it comes. If it scares me just a bit, that’s my sign to just do it. Every dream feels big at first, every step feels slightly worse. What if I fall, what if I fail, what if I try and miss the rail. But standing still has got a cost, more than chances that I lost. I’d rather move and learn the way, than watch another maybe fade. I don’t need answers, I don’t need proof, just one small step to break the loop. Five, four, three, two, one, hands are shaking but I’m done. Waiting for the perfect cue, now I’m choosing something new. Five, four, three, two, one, feel the moment pulling me in. If I want it just a bit, that’s my sign to just do it. Maybe it works, maybe it won’t, maybe it changes more than I know. Every try moves something on, every start is something won. Good intent, an open mind, nothing here I leave behind. Five, four, three, two, one, this is how the change begins. No more someday, no more when, now is all I ever have. Five, four, three, two, one, feel the courage kicking in. If it matters just a bit, that’s my sign to just do it. Not tomorrow, not someday, right here, right now, this way.
