//------------------------------// // Rainbow Dash inspires you to do that thing // Story: Pony Stimulation for Weary Travelers Season 2 // by KenDoStudios //------------------------------// Everypony, listen up!! you all might know of me already but if you haven't... I'm Rainbow Dash, Equestria's current world record holder of the speed limit. First of all, let me tell you something about myself. I've always been a go-getter, a pony who loves to push herself to the limit and beyond. But you know what? I didn't become the best flyer in Equestria overnight. It took hard work, practice, and a lot of determination to get to where I am today. And that's what I want to tell you, too. Whether you're trying to master a new skill, overcome a challenge, or just get through a tough day, you have what it takes to succeed. You might not be perfect right away, but that's okay. Everypony starts somewhere, and the only way to get better is to keep trying. Don't be afraid to take risks, either. Sometimes, the best way to learn is by making mistakes. And if you fall down, just get back up and try again. You're stronger than you think, and you have a whole herd of friends who believe in you. Its loyalty that brought you. to your friends. When we stick together and help each other out, we can accomplish anything. You never know when you might need a hoof to hold onto, or when you might be the one offering support to a friend in need. So go ahead, spread your wings, and take flight! Believe in yourself, work hard, and don't give up. You've got this, and I know you'll soar higher than you ever thought possible!" So let's first talk about our first Rainbow topic. being the dash of getting things. in other words, a go-getter. What does it mean? Being a go-getter means that you're the type of pony who goes after what you want with everything you've got. You don't sit around waiting for things to happen to you; you make them happen. You be the pony of influence! be proactive, determined, and not afraid to take risks. When it comes to being a go-getter, I know a thing or two about that. I've always been the type of pony who wants to be the best, not just in flying, racing, you know. you have to be willing. And I didn't get to where I am by sitting on my hooves and waiting for opportunities to come to me. So let me hear you right now... are you willing? do you want what you want badly? then make a noise that proves you are ready! Common, let me hear you whinny! Awwwwwwwwwwwww yeahhhhhhhhhhhh. Now, I had to work hard, practice, and push myself to be better every day. And you know what? It's paid off. I'm one of the best flyers in Equestria, and I've accomplished things that I never thought were possible. So if you want to be a go-getter like me, here's what you need to do. First, figure out what you want to achieve. knowing your goal. because if you don't have a goal you don't know what to shoot for right? It could be anything, from mastering a new skill to pursuing a lifelong dream. Whatever it is, make it a goal and write it down. Yes I mean it finds a piece of paper get a pencil now. use your potential powers of being a go-getter and go get those things. Yes now! run! I'm going to assume you have your quill and paper. So knowing your goal... what is it that you want to do? How does one do that? Well, my goal has always been to be the best flyer in Equestria. but I figured out that not every pony wants to be a flyer, In fact, when it comes to figuring out your own goals, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. It really depends on what you want to achieve and what's important to you. That said, there are some general steps you can take to figure out your goals and how to achieve them. 1 Reflect on your values and interests. Think about what's important to you, what you're passionate about, and what brings you joy. This can help you identify goals that align with your values and that you'll be more motivated to pursue. 2 set SMART goals and in this case, SMART is an anagram. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. By setting goals that meet these criteria, you'll have a clear target to work towards and a way to track your progress. 3 Seek out support and guidance. Don't be afraid to ask for help or advice from others. Whether it's a friend, family member, or mentor, having someone to support you and offer guidance can make all the difference. So go ahead and write what interests you... go on don't be shy. yeah just write down the first thing that comes to your mind. Allright cool, you have made your first step, and that my friend is progressing to your better self. so take some time right now.. and dance and celebrate that you did something today! Yeah go ahead jump up in down, and make a noise that excites you! you did it! you did a thing! Awwwwwwwwwwwww Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh. So you have your dream in front of you. and sure it looks good on paper, but the next step is to come up with a plan of action. remeber the SMART SYSTEM? well, let's go through it using our idea. let's test it. Let's make it specific. Can you describe your dream in more detail? What specifically do you want to achieve? Once you have a more specific goal in mind, you can make it measurable by setting concrete metrics for success. For example, if your dream is to run a marathon, you might set a goal of finishing the race in under four hours. Next, your goal should be achievable. Is your dream something that you can realistically accomplish with hard work and dedication? well, you got to believe it you have to be willing to look at your feet and tell them" "I own you." you know it... go ahead and tell your feet "I own you." say it out loud "I own you". Your goal should also be relevant to your values and interests. Does your dream align with what's important to you? Is it something that you're passionate about? Finally, your goal should be time-bound. Set a deadline for achieving your dream. Here's the thing about schedules: when you don't stick to them, you start to feel like you can slack off. And trust me, I know all about slacking off. In fact, I used to have a pretty serious addiction to napping. Yeah, you heard me right. This mare right here used to snooze all day long! But you know what I realized? Napping all the time wasn't getting me any closer to my goals. Sure, it felt good at the moment, but it wasn't helping me become a better flyer or achieve any of the other things I wanted in life. So I made a change. I started sticking to a schedule, setting goals for myself, and holding myself accountable. And you know what? It made a huge difference. I started making progress toward my dreams, and I felt more energized and motivated than ever before. So if you're struggling to stick to a schedule or find yourself slacking off, just remember: you're not alone. We all have our weaknesses and challenges to overcome. But by setting goals, staying focused, and holding yourself accountable, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. So let's get out there and make some progress, everypony! If you want to stop feeling depressed and start taking your life back say yes! Say yes! louder. If you want to make a difference. Say yes! Say yes! louder now If you want your body to respond to it whenever you demand it even in depressing times say yes. SAY YES. LOUDER! Awwwwwwwwwwwww yeahhhhhhhhhhhh. You've got this, my friends. It's time to stop feeling depressed and start making progress toward your dreams. It's time to set goals, stick to a schedule, and hold yourself accountable. And it's time to demand the best from your body, even in the toughest of times. Alright, let's get back to the example of running a marathon in under 4 hours. We've got our specific, measurable goal. Now it's time to make it achievable, relevant, and time-bound. First, let's make it achievable. If you've never run a marathon before, trying to do it in under 4 hours might be too much of a stretch. So let's break it down into smaller, more achievable goals. Even if you've never run in your life, with dedication, hard work, and a positive attitude, you can achieve amazing things. It might not be easy, but it'll be worth it. So don't let fear or doubt hold you back. Believe in yourself and your abilities, and you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. if you push yourself right now. I bet you can even run to the end of this runway! It is important to put ourselves to the test and see what we're capable of. because you will never know your current limitations until you try. so in your schedule. write down "By the end of the day I hope to accomplish... fill in the blank". set your small goal. Whatever it is, write it down and commit to achieving it. And when you do, celebrate your victory and use it as motivation to tackle even bigger challenges. You got this, everypony! Those small steps you take today will eventually turn into bigger steps tomorrow. And before you know it, you'll be running toward your dreams at full speed. It's all about taking that first step, and then the next, and the next. Don't underestimate the power of small actions, because they can add up to big results over time. So let's keep pushing ourselves forward, one step at a time, and see just how far we can go! Interact with each other tell others your dream. say "I want to do this but today I will do something smaller." Ill start. Hey everypony, I'm Rainbow Dash and my dream is to one day become the greatest flier in all of Equestria! But for today, I'm going to focus on something smaller. I want to improve my speed and endurance, so I'm going to do a few extra laps around the track during my training session. Now see your dream as you minimize small tasks like this... Now, imagine your dream as a big, beautiful rainbow in the sky. Each small task you complete is like a drop of rain, adding more and more color to that rainbow until it shines brighter than ever before. So even if your dream feels far away right now, remember that every little step you take brings you closer to that colorful, vibrant goal. DO YOU BELIEVE IT? ARE YOU PUMPED? MAKE A NOISE! AWWWWWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH. Alright everypony, it's time to talk about the next Rainbow topic: Don't be afraid to take risks! You see, to achieve our dreams and reach new heights, we need to be willing to step out of our comfort zones and take on new challenges Think about it: if you never take risks, you'll never know what you're truly capable of, and You'll never know what kind of amazing things you can accomplish. So take that risk! Don't get stuck in your comfort zone. Take action and if you make a mistake, don't beat yourself up over it. Every mistake is an opportunity to learn and grow. So go ahead, be bold, be daring, and be the best you can be! Hey, you there! Yeah, you! Do you think you have what it takes to take risks? Do you think you dare to step out of your comfort zone and chase your dreams? Well, let me tell you something: you absolutely can! All it takes is a little bit of confidence and a whole lot of determination. Sure, taking risks can be scary. It means putting yourself out there and potentially facing failure or rejection. But you know what's even scarier? Regret. Regretting not taking that chance, not chasing that dream, not living up to your full potential. So go ahead, take that risk. Believe in yourself and trust that even if you stumble along the way, you have the strength and resilience to get back up and keep pushing forward. Are you ready to fly higher than you ever thought possible? if you are say yes. say yes. make a noise that excites you! AWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHHH. Well, we've covered two topics today and I could go on for hours about each one, but unfortunately, our time together is coming to an end. Remember, the key to success is to have a clear goal, stick to a schedule, and be willing to take risks. Believe in yourself and your abilities, and don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Now, before we go, let's all give ourselves a round of applause for taking the first steps toward achieving our dreams. And don't forget, everypony: stay awesome! BECAUSE YOU ARE!!!! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
