Study & Meditation-04/10

To encourage "Getting Started," I have posted one of the pieces from a fellow writer, Debra Johnson, for the Neighborhood Writing Alliance's Journal of Ordinary Thought, Spring 2007 edition, entitled DO IT!.  The Neighborhood Writing Alliance provokes dialogue and promotes change by creating opportunities for adults to write, publish, and perform works about their lives.  Enjoy as you ponder this piece in my Study and Meditation Room.

DO IT!

By Debra Johnson

Don't say you can't do it!

There's nothing to lose but to do it!

Won't know how it ends unless you do it.

Ignore those who say you can't do it.

Nothing to do but to do it!

Get up and do it!

Need a word to do it?

A pat on the back to send you off to it?

Let others help you through it.

It really doesn't matter if he or she didn't do it.

You really have to do it.

Tell yourself you can do it!

Don't stop until you do it.

Make your mind up to do it.

It may be hard while you're doing it.

You may fall down while you're doing it.

Stick to it!

Write a plan, a post-it note - remind yourself to do it.

Don't give up, you will do it!

Allow your faith to walk you through it!
