Yesterday,I heard someone say "If not now, when?" and I actually stopped in my tracks. I have no idea in what context this person was using this statement, but it was a total game changer for me. Why do we wait on making changes? Let's look at some of the answers people give:
"I want to research this" Really? Haven't you been thinking about weight loss, moving, going back to school, or whatever it is for awhile now? Is there a difference between thinking about and 'seriously' thinking about a change?
"I am too busy" Busy being unhappy. If there is something on your mind that you know would improve your life, why are you even wasting one more day? Take a deep breath and leap!
"I am scared" Change is always scary. You can 'what if' yourself to death. But you are a strong person and can handle whatever happens. You have gotten this far in life. Why cheat yourself out of a victory? If you do nothing, then nothing is what you will get. Everyone's mission in life is to move forward. How will you move forward?
There are so many things going on currently in my life that I would love to say, "Whoa lets slow down for a little while and ponder on these decisions." That would be the wrong thing to do. It is very hard to leave the comfort of my bed every morning, but things must move forward. Life must be lived! Am I scared? Yes! Do I push through? Yes! The reward will be fantastic because I have earned it.
I am standing on my soapbox because lately I have seen way too many people who are miserable in their lives, because they are choosing not to live it! So, I encourage you to take the leap of faith and just go ahead and do it. Don't try, do! The worst that can happen is that you end up where you are now. The best? Well that is whatever you want it to be. New Job? Lose weight? Better relationships and less toxic people in your life? You name it and then do it!
