Won't you leave us a positive rating and review? We'd greatly appreciate that on today's episode of Think on This. If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse. Let me read that again. If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse. What a powerful, powerful statement that is. I mean, how many times myself included, do we just say, you know what, I really want to do X, Y or z, But then you start your our minds mind does it too, starts racing and says, yeah, however, it's gonna be too hard, or it's going to take too long, or I'll do it next week or tomorrow or next month, or I'll do it when I have more money or I'll do it when I have more time, or I'll do it when this happens. We start throwing up roadblocks for ourselves, don't we, And before you know it, we haven't done anything. And I think therein lies the trap for many of us, because a lot of us start with good intentions. You know, there's an old expression the road to hell is paved with good intentions, And in this context, it's I want to do this. I want to accomplish that. I want to start a business, I want to get healthier, I want to you know, meditate, start a mediation practice, or I want to mend a relationship or start a new relationship or what have you. Start a creative maybe write a book or a song, or learning anything, no matter what. And a lot of us yearn to do things and change our lives in one form or the other. But how many of us really go find the way to do it when we're challenged, find a way to overcome those challenges. How many of us actually do that. I've had many setbacks in my own life and until I really stopped and put my mind to it and said, no, I am going dog got it. I'm going to do it this time. I'm going to do it, and then it happens and you feel so much better. But it's so much easier, isn't it, just to say, well, yeah, that would be nice to do that, but that would be kind of neat to do it, but and then we end up giving up. So the key is perseverance, my friends, determination and fortitude, because at the end of the day, what it always and will boil down to, ultimately is that if you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse. Thanks so much for joining us on this episode of Think on This Take this thought with you as you go about your week, and thank you so much.
