5/10/2022 0 Comments Now is the right timeHow many of your creations are you waiting for just the right moment to put into the world?
How many ideas are you waiting for just the right moment to pursue? How many conversations are you waiting for just the right moment to have? How many chances are you waiting for just the right moment to take? I wonder how much the world doesn't change because the world's people are waiting for just the right time to bring the change that only they can bring. I wonder how many people don't transform because they are waiting for just the right time to become the person that only they can become. How much of life are we missing the chance to live because we're waiting on life to say go, when the real problem is we're ignoring a life that is constantly screaming go? I gave a talk at a resilience event last night. When I was finished talking, a young woman stood up and asked where she could find more groups of people who were talking about overcoming the traumas in their lives. She said she'd seen the event posted online and decided to show up. I was touched by her. Not as much by what she was willing to stand up and say as I was by her willingness to show up and say anything at all. Her willingness to show up when she had no assurances whatsoever that is was the right time and place to show up. How much of life are we missing the chance to live because we're waiting on life to say go, when the real problem is we're ignoring a life that is constantly screaming go? More and more I'm coming to realize that when I find myself wondering if this is the right time or not, it IS the right time. When the only thing standing between me and me taking a big step is some assurance from life I'm ready for that step - the time is now to take the step. Because assurance is never coming. I've come to realize there is much greater risk in waiting on ready than there is tackling something before I think I'm ready. Because if I'm not careful, my whole life can quickly become a life that is waiting for ready. Today, if you find yourself waiting for life to say this is the right time, chances are, life already screamed it and you missed it. But that's okay. Because it's never too late to realize now is the right time. Now is the best time you have to listen to a life screaming go. So listen and go. Listen to life screaming, and then just show up.
