JusJoJan/Stream of Consciousness Saturday 6 January 2024

Today’s prompt for JusJoJan is the same as for Stream of Consciousness Saturday and the prompt is Just Do It.

I love today’s prompt because it is something that I say quite often. Don’t dilly-dally. Don’t argue. Don’t overthink it. Make a decision and Just Do It! 

There are a few people in my life who just can’t make decisions about what they should do, when they should do it, how they should do it or whether they should do it. I try to be supportive and to give advice and encouragement about choosing the right path. But, seriously, you cannot decide for somebody else. The final decision must be theirs. 

Should you or should you not jump off a high cliff into a deep river? Do it if you’re young and adventurous. Don’t if it might give you a heart attack! Believe me, if you’re young and fit you will not regret it even if you are terrified to do it in the first place! I am speaking both literally and figuratively here. Many decisions about what to do can be like jumping off a cliff. But think of the exhilarating feeling you will get and the adventures you will have if you just take a chance and go for it!

Don’t make an excuse not to do something, just in case it might go wrong. Seriously it might go very right but you’ll never know unless you just do it. If it goes wrong you will have learned from an adventure along the path of life. 

Looking back on my life, I am glad for the Just Do It decisions I made. I have no regrets – some of those things were very wrong but most were just perfect.

    Some people seem to be born with a ‘just do it’ attitude. Sometimes we don’t even realise it: when I look back at some of the scary things I have done and decisions made I wonder now how that was possible. I agree with you about ditherers though: either do it or don’t, but don’t dither 🙂
