Just Do It – Inspiration With Attitude!

stagnant pool

Oi you! Yeh you! Sitting there on your butt reading this. Stop being a stagnant pool of stinking water. Gathering scum and vegetating away… You need to start being more like a great flowing river. You do this by MOVING!

A river never stops moving it flows and doesn’t collect slime. A river also has no doubts it is sure to get where it is going and it doesn’t want to go anywhere else. It has its path and it follows it. Sure sometimes it has to adjust to go over or round some rocks or the odd fallen tree. It might even take a great fall of thousands of feet. But it doesn’t let that stop it! It just keeps on going.

Coast

So be like the river. Have your path… your plan of what you want to achieve and start moving!

“Nothing happens until something moves.” ~Albert Einstein Quote

Sometimes you will have problems and set backs. Sometimes you will fall flat on your face. But pick yourself up and keep going.

Be a river, move and adjust like a flow of water and get where you want to go today!

Wow! That was a really well put post. I was wondering when I saw that nasty swimming pool what it was going to be about. I totally agree with what you are saying. I certainly keep moving even when I do fall on my face. I get up and keep moving toward my goals. After all, when you are a parent, you are your children’s role model. I try to be the very best I can everyday! All the best to you and have a great week!

Hi Tom,
Nice one, why didn’t I find it sooner lol.
Like the post, pics mix perfectly. We all have to be as the rivers are, if not then life does stagnate….then you have to ask yourself…….why?

Hmmm, I see you are using Nike’s “Just Do it.” Good analogy. There are lots of famous business slogans that you can use to start an archive of inspirational articles for the creative folks. :) Actually I’m still expanding my archive of Famous Business Slogans but I already have my picks of 7 Famous Business Slogans of 20th century.

very nice article. but ‘moving’ is not always associated to ‘move your body’, but it will be ‘move your potency don’t be stagnant’. and everybody owns their specific potency.
about what einstein said, i have a similar words: ‘the lord will never change one condition, before he/she change it for his/herself first’ (the koran).
