How many times during the year do you text an old friend and say "we should totally hang out and catch up!" and then you never do?

How many times do you tell yourself you should go to the gym and make up excuses about why you shouldn't?

So many times do we come up with reasons about why we shouldn't do things because we "don't have time". It seems that we don't have time to catch up with old friends, to work out, to go to church, or do something spontaneous. People always need reasons to go out and do things. People are always looking for the benefit to them in any situation. More and more people are spending their time in bed, alone, being unproductive, than they are out with friends doing fun things together.

We need to start making our plans a priority together. When someone says to you, "Hey, we should hang out sometime!" take their offer seriously. Let’s make 2017 the year that we actually follow through with things we say we’re going to do. Let’s go after our goals and make them our own. Let’s stop saying “I should”, “I would”, or “I could”, and start saying “I did”. Watch yourself grow into a brand new person.

If we push ourselves to do the things we want to do, we will expand our horizons. Stop doing things just because they’re beneficial to you, do them because they’re spontaneous and helpful to others, too.

All these plans you’re making with yourself, or the un-promised plans you’re creating with someone else- make them actually happen. We live in a society that is so flaky between one another, let’s change that.
