Power of acting by Guadalupe - January 2026 Scholarship Essay

I'm going to be diving into a special moment when I pushed myself out of my repetitive habits. This occurred to me recently and struck me instantly as a realization. That realization being I have to give myself grace and not fear failure. One thing I tend to do is spend my free time writing down my goals and hopes, lastly I set my pencil down and store the page away with my aspirations. I had created a cycle of repeated goals without knowing. I eventually felt everything drain on me and felt stuck in a hole. I sat down with myself and reviewed every page on my agendas from the previous 3 years i had stored. Tears rolled down when I realized there was minimum to no progress made from me , I had not accomplished goals I was and still am passionate about doing. I decided one morning out of the blue that this would be the day I make one change and not write about it until after its accomplished. That one small change has transformed my entire week. Im more proactive in the mornings , When i write I'm writing in detail of how I created this myself. I broke my own leash of procrastination . I'm not sure what name or title there is for this skill but I wish it on everybody.
