August is where Singapore celebrates its birthday. One of my favourite classic National Day songs is Stand Up For Singapore. It’s catchy, simple, contagious to sing along, back when we were in school.

Standing up, is also a great metaphor for my August goals.

Because I’ve been sitting on everything for too long. Faaar too long.

Golden opportunities came and went.
Brilliant ideas, fizzled out.
Nice money, flew away.

I’ve been sitting down too long, so sedentary, so stagnant it’s bad for health. Money health. Creative health. Mind health. Self esteem health.

So it’s about time to stand up.
Not run.
Not sprint.
Not lift off.

Just stand up still. For something. For anything. Anything on the plate. Anything on the list.

Just a small act of standing, but a huge difference. From sitting.
Just look around. Start swinging your arms. Crack those joints.

Ready, get set
