Just Do It

Why was the Nike slogan of JUST DO IT so effective?

It was clear. Succinct. To the point.

They didn’t rationalize, convince, weigh all the options, ponder the what ifs, listen to your fears and commiserate with you …. They said JUST DO IT.

Those words resonate. We need to hear that. Jeepers creepers, if you want to do something, just do it.

We wafflers of the world need to be told JUST DO IT. As I look at my whiteboard of inspiration over my desk, I do not see that phrase up there. Hmmm. I have lots of things written to myself:

No excuses.

How you do anything is how you do everything.

The choice is always fear or love. Love > Fear.

Relax. Have fun. Be awesome.

Love them.

TRUST.

Leap of faith leads to feeling more empowered, more grateful.

Life = leap of faith after leap of faith after leap of faith….

Go for it. Do it. Be it. Live it. Love it.

I guess that is my version of JUST DO IT. I coach people every day and the heart of the matter is always to trust themselves and JUST DO IT.

The ties that bind are those we wrap around ourselves. Let’s loosen those so you can leap. Sometimes a leap is a baby step. It is always rewarded with more empowerment and gratitude to fortify to take the next step/leap.

You know what you want to do, be, have. Just do it. Just be it. Just have it. Now.

Whatever is holding you back, whatever you may call it, is some kind of fear. It may be cleverly disguised, however, it is a fear. We operate from fear or we operate from trust. You get to choose. Remember, Trust and Love always trump fear.

Whatever it is that is calling you, just do it. You take leaps of faith every day. Tiny leaps, big leaps. The minute you get out of bed, you are trusting. Keep trusting. Just do it.

JUST DO IT.
