Stop.

Stop what you’re doing. Look up from your screen. Look out the window. Look around.

Stop wasting your time doing things you don’t enjoy. It’s your time. It’s your life to live. It’s up to you to make the most of it.

Stop thinking about what comes next. Don’t worry about tomorrow or next week or next year. Don’t check your notifications for an hour. Don’t log on or sign in. Don’t let yourself be anywhere but in the moment.

Stop comparing yourself to other people. Quit sizing them up. Quit keeping score. Quit worrying about things that are out of your control.

Stop at nothing. Don’t give up. Don’t take no for an answer. Don’t let anyone tell you it can’t be done.

Stop and smell the roses. It’s beautiful out here without a smartphone in your hand. It’s a lovely day to make your dreams come true. It’s all within arm’s reach if you only stop to look around.

Okay, it’s your turn. You know what to do.

Now, GO.
