You can not expect things to get done if you do not put your mind to it and take action. You're not rewarded for laziness in the real world. You can’t just forget about all of your problems they are real and will eventually catch up with you in life. Stop thinking and just do it!

No, I can't, but you should see how lovely my garden is, after I plant it, weed it, and water it! All in my mind.



I always liked the Chinese proverb that could accompany this one: The ox is slow, but the earth is patient.

I think this is a proverb lots of people out there should act on....rather than sinking into a pity party. Just because the economy is tough is not an excuse to sit back and accept defeat. Life takes action and determination.
