HELLO HELLO! Today is December 5th and I want to talk about my potential. About two or three months ago I had one thing on my mind. What is my potential? I mean how far can I go with something I deeply want? Instead of just sitting around and waiting for things to happen to me, I knew that I could do more.
My mom has always told me I am good at tennis. She's told me multiple times that my gift is tennis and how good I am at it. But what if tennis isn't what I want to really focus on? Yeah I am on the tennis team and I love playing games but there is something that I have always longed for. I will never forget the day that my piano teacher had told me that music was my gift and that she could see my passion for it. That was it. My passion. How far can I go into reaching something that I am most passionate about? For me that is music (whether it is singing or piano) and writing.
About three weeks ago I remember sitting in my room, on my phone, thinking about all of the things I was looking for in the future. How one day I will have a blog. How one day maybe I will start auditioning more when I get less scared. How one day I will improve my singing skills. And so on. But I thought to myself why am I waiting for the future when I haven't even done anything? I have so many dreams but I haven't done anything to reach them?
From that moment forward I knew I was the only one capable of reaching my goals and dreams. So my journey started there. I started doing all of the things I said I would to achive my goal. I no longer said one day I will. But instead Today I will.
Now I take risks, and try to put myself out there more. If I want to become a writer then I need to put myself out there. If I want people to see me sing and act, then I need to put myself out there. I've heard many quotes where they talk about how the only failure is the one where you don't try. My life has literally changed from actually putting effort into what I want. I finally made my blog that I have been dying on for so long. I got into my school's musical as a freshman! And I've started to feel more internal confidence in myself. I am not talking about confidence in my looks but confidence in the person I am becoming.
So now I encourage you to do something this week that will take you a step closer to your goal. I love you guys all so much!
Bye Bye

From "One day I will" to "Today I will" is one of the most powerful things you can do. In this same vein, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the concept of discipline!
