today’s the day
i have a question to ask you
to ask myself, really.
(name) what are you going to do today to help you move forward,
to level up, to make your corner of the world a little brighter?
does it reveal your heart?
ignite your passion?
will it make a lasting impression?
what are you going to do today that is going to change the world,
to leave your mark?
what about each day after that?
or have you settled, made excuses?
that’s okay for a minute,
or a day.
it’s actually important.
it helps you examine, reexamine, and reassess.
but we mustn’t dwell there.
for minutes turn into days,
days to weeks and
weeks to years
and before you know it
somewhere along the way
we’ve lost sight of our vision,
our dream, our self.
our passion becomes buried under a mound of doubt,
and our dream sits perched on a shelf we never dust.
maybe you feel your current situation is your final destination
and you’ve lost hope.
but today,
today can be different.
so,
when you hear the question,
“what are you going to do to move forward, to level up?”
plan.
plan to make today the moment you stop letting yourself,
excuses, circumstances, or anyone squelch your passion and steal your power.
it’s important.
because you’re worth it.
because someone needs what you have.
because your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
it’s important to embrace your passion,
your dream, your legacy,
to hold space for your visions to be expansive
and dream bigger than ever before.
you are a winner!
girl, it’s time.
go forth.
reveal your heart.
ignite your passion.
make a lasting impression.
today is the day.
today is your day.
