What are you waiting for?
People act like when there is time to make a change that it should be easy. Quit your job, move, start your business, travel, and so on and so on…. One of the challenges that many of us face is first and foremost resistance and 2ndly change can be scary. When there is time to make a change you feel it. You feel it in your bones, you feel it in your soul, yet most of us don’t do it! We hold back hoping something will push us. It’s inevitable that in order to grow and become your best self you have to evolve in your way of thinking and the actions you take. I can’t tell you that your decisions won’t have some sort of side effect but what’s the point of just existing if you are simply existing just to maintain.
There is a 50% chance the outcome will be better for you and with those odds any change you decide to take is certainly worth the risk. You decide what your plan of execution is and in the words of Steve Harvey “JUMP.”
There are so many things holding us back in life, as for myself I can be a testament to that but the biggest person holding me back is myself. God created us All to impact the world in a great way. I don’t know what your calling is but I do know if you are unhappy and feeling like you gotta do something else, know that you are so worth the risk! The kids may have to eat rice and noodles (j/k) but not (j/k), you may have to give up a Starbucks coffee or 2, you may have to lose an hour of sleep or 2 to dedicate time and energy to work towards developing your dream goal.
The truth is that most of us won’t just jump! In my heart of hearts I wish we would because I feel like that uncertainty will trigger an emotion in side you that is backed up by a sense of urgency, and there will be a knowing inside of you that failing is not an option. But if “jumping” is super scary for you than join the many others by at least starting the process of planning. Figure out what you need to do to get to where you need to be and plan. Remember – steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, so Pray, ACT, DO!
Ps. If you have no clue what it is you are supposed to be doing then you are probably one of the those people that need to JUMP! You will figure it out!
