Unhindered.

"Yes, I can."

The three most liberating, empowering, bolstering words in the English language. In that order, of course. I suppose you could switch them up, into "Can I? Yes.", or "I can, yes."

Same difference. :)

Once you decide that you can, once you make up your mind that it can be done, there isn't anything that can stop you. Except maybe the laws of physics, and even then it can only slow you down, not stop you completely.

I'm beginning to realize the power of the mind. Not like "these aren't the droids you're looking for" power, but the power of a simple decision. You can decide to change your habits. You can decide to not live in the past, and you can decide to accomplish everything you want or need to accomplish.

It starts with a decision. Purposing in your mind that it can be done. Purposing in your heart that you cannot be altered, or stopped. If you think about it, revenge, passion, determination, perseverance..they all are propelled by a decision: "Yes, I can."

So guess what. Today's the day that you are going to say that. Today's the day that you are going to decide that you can. And at the end of the day? You're going to be proud of what you accomplished.

Promise.
