My friend Amy tweeted out the first line of this that was posted by the guy from Duck Dynasty recently.  I went looking for the original author and found this entry on Ralph Marston's website.

Step forward

A thousand disappointments in the past cannot equal the power of one positive action right now. Go ahead and go for it.

If you’ve previously told yourself that it can’t be done, this is the moment to change your assumption. When you can dream it, imagine it and visualize it, you can do it.

Instead of making excuses, make some progress. Instead of looking back with regret, step forward with enthusiasm.

Choose to define yourself based on the person you know you can become. Choose to see your life in terms of the best of what is possible.

If you focus too much on the past, you’ll be held back by limitations that may no longer even exist. Instead, look forward with positive expectation, and you’ll find yourself quickly moving in a forward direction.

A new, fulfilling reality is calling to you. Step forward right now, and begin to make it happen.

— Ralph Marston
