Most days I feel pretty pumped and on track, but every now and then I'll have bit of a low (like today) where I get scared that maybe my plans won't work out.

Dreaming and planning about doing something is not enough. It is the daily work and effort that leads to opportunities. That very act of focusing on one and only one calling creates its own luck.

First, it communicates to the world what you do and what you stand for. Everyone knows you are 'that' person and will come to you when they need it.

Second, the act of doing, especially when you are doing a lot, makes you improve. All the dreaming in the world is not going to make you a rock star. The people who are getting up on stages every day are the ones that get great.

Third, without a backup plan or secondary way to earn an income, you have no choice but to move ahead. Necessity is the best motivator.

Keep on rockin. At the end of the day, that is all there is.

I felt that Levi's post this week is probably the best he's written so far. It was certainly the most engaging for me. Other people seem to agree!</p> I'm glad WSR can publish "pull you out of bed" content! I felt that Levi's post this week is probably the best he's written so far.

If you commit to something, really believe in it, and are willing to work, sooner or later good things will happen. It sounds like that is exactly what is going on in your world right now. Look forward to hearing more as everything progresses.</p> Great post Levi!

WOW.. great words…. Thanks for the wake up call. I've been PASSIVE way too long at a job that I hate…… like serving out a prison sentence, putting tick marks on a wall, instead of doing something about it. Money is not everything, and fear is the great paralyzer… and trust me.. I'm scared sh*tless.

Sounds like things are moving for you... so BRAVO!!   Stay humble and thankful for all the blessings that come your way, and sometime down the road, don&#039;t forget to GIVE BACK.
