Just Do It--Art Williams

“Remember, before you can be great, you’ve got to be good.

 Before you can be good, you’ve got to be bad. 

But before you can even be bad, you’ve got to try.” 

― Art Williams, All You Can Do is All You Can Do

Have you seen Art Williams's this super inspirational speech? He made this speech back in 1987. And guess what?! we are still talking about the same thing as he said over 20 years ago.  "Just Do It". So simple yet, so difficult. How many of you told someone "just do it". And when it comes to you, you start thinking so much and procrastinate?! You can make so many excuses that sounds so logical and smart. Yet, is it true?! Are you trying to convince yourself from actually making the move?! Are you trying to escape from the fear?! What's stopping you?! 

I love how he said. 

Before you can be great, you've got to be good. 

Before you can be good, you've got to be bad.

Before you can even be bad, you've got to try. 

Again, he didn't say it's gonna be easy. He said, it's going to worth it. Before we can ride a bike, we have to fall. We have to start riding on a bike with training wheels. Then, we have to learn how to ride without it. Again, something we can't learn without falling down, at least, few times. There's no easy way. It's not like the movie "Matrix", that you can plug into the program and master Karate in few seconds. It's not like that. (or is it?!) We have to fall.  But in order for us to fall, we have to start it. When we are young, we don't know anything. That's why we don't have any fear towards anything. As we grow, we learn fear. We learn how to be scared and how to make excuses not to do certain things. We learn to make great excuses. But sooner or later, we gonna have to face the reality. We just gonna have to do it. What do we need to do?! Just do it. I love the end part of this speech. He's so passionate and know what he's talking about. You can tell that it's coming from his heart. I think especially smart people have even more difficult time putting things to action. They are good at thinking logically, making clever excuses that convince others. They get caught up in their thoughts and plans and all the crazy ideas. So, when they FINALLY decide to put into action, it takes more than others to get rid of those ideas that you've built inside of your head. It's definitely not an easy process to go through. I think they have lots and lots of potential that they don't even know that they have. To get out from your head is difficult as we get older. But, we have to. We have to learn how to disengage from our own curse and brainwash.  We have to redo the magical spell now. "Just do it!" as simple as that. Even when you don't know where to start, what to start, it doesn't matter. We have to learn from our mistakes and experience. Reading books/articles, and listening to seminars and inspirational speeches wont' give you any answers that you're looking for. You have to learn from those lessons and experiences. The fact that you are reading this, or wanting to become better, that itself proves that your heart is in a right place. So, let's just do it. Just Do It. Just because we can. Just because we want to.
