Go Ahead ~ Choose Happy ~ Just Do It!
Do you have a goal you are not fulfilling or a dream that seems to be so remote that you can’t see how to get there?
What is holding you back from ‘just doing it?’
What will it take for you to step towards that goal today?
If you can’t take a step, at least lift your head and look in the right direction. And then, before you know it you will be on the way to ‘just do it!’
A few years back I went to see a psychic medium (one of the things I like to treat myself to a couple of times each year.) She was amazing and told me lots of fun and yummy things. But one of the things she told me has always stuck with me.
The Winged Victory of Samothrace, also called the Nike of Samothrace is a 2nd century BC marble sculpture of the Greek goddess Nike (Victory). Since 1884, it has been prominently displayed at the Louvre and is one of the most celebrated sculptures in the world.
She told me that I have wings in my aura (not uncommon, by the way) but that my wings were uncommon in that they aren’t coming out from my back like a classic angel image. My wings are under my arms, like the god Nike.
The psychic medium pondered for a moment, looked at me intently and then said ‘Just do it!’
The message was that I’m a ‘just do it’ person, which was very funny because my kids knew I’d had enough messing around when I said ‘Nike!!!’ Telling the kids ‘Nike’ meant no more chat, no more discussion, no more arguing…just do it! LOL!!!
So, what holding you back? How do you change to ‘just do it!’
Like I mentioned earlier, one of the things that can help you move forward is look in the right direction. Once facing the right way, you can see action steps to take. Not clear? Here’s an example:
Let’s say your biggest dream is to teach underwater snorkeling in Portugal. One thing that would definitely have you looking in the right direction is to get hold of a map and find out where Portugal is on the planet.
Okay, you are now looking in the right direction. What next?
Well, perhaps it might be a good idea to learn to snorkel. Gotta start somewhere. Then you can always learn the language of your new chosen country. You might take a class in teaching, as your goal is to teach. You can learn about Portugal. Learn about snorkeling. Learn about teaching.
On the way to your dream, you may find that you don’t fancy Portugal anymore and start looking at Maui as an option. Or you decide scuba-diving would be more fun than snorkeling. Or you meet a fab new life-partner at language class and you go on a fantastic trip to Portugal together and open a bed and breakfast.
or…you pick some!

As I said to my kids ‘Nike!’
I’ll never look at a Nike shirt the same way ever again! Love it! NIKE!
I wonder if the marketing team behind Nike know the subliminal message here. I bet someone did when they came up with it! And now I can tell you ‘Nike’ Helen and you’ll know ‘no more procrastinating’. LOL! 😉
Manifesting Nike wings – nice, I like it! I also like the one word command to get one’s kids to “just do it” – do tell how you make that work! 🙂
Repetition Karen, repetition! First the nice ask, then the repeat, then the ‘just do it’ and finally “NIKE!” By the time they were teens they were well-drilled…so I could just go from the first nice ask to NIKE! when I wasn’t about to negotiate. I wonder if it will work on the dog???
I like your “Nike” approach. and you are right the main thing is to choose a direction and make the first step and correct your movements along the way.
I love Mike Dooley’s approach…the GPS. Even if you start out going in the wrong direction you will be guided to turn the right way. Woohoo!
Jacqueline it looks like we are on the same page somehow 🙂 Love the “just do it” approach!
Kindred spirits Emma…I love that!
I love this post Jacqueline!
I’m a “Just Do It” kind of gal too.
I offer some similar ideas to my clients when they have a big idea/dream they want to pursue but they have no idea how to go about it.
I call it the Three E’s
Explore, Experiment and Evaluate.
It’s really easy to be in your head and think something looks great, but it isn’t until you actually experience it and interface with the energy that you actually know if it is right for you. It’s only then that you can truly tap into the flow and open up the way to see your path clearly.
Keep on Shinning !!!
Loving it Leah…brilliant! Thank you for sharing.
I TOTALLY agree with this Jacqueline. One of the things I heard somewhere – I can’t remember where – is that clarity comes through action, which has always been my experience. You might find your end vision changes but the important part is taking some action towards it!
You’ve got it! Woohoo!
