“If you do nothing unexpected, nothing unexpected happens!” Fay Weldon
Sometimes in life we all get crazy ideas, when we want to stop what we are doing, jump off the bus, get out of the rat race, not tread the expected path……..jump in our car, grab the steering wheel and make a hard right turn instead of going straight on!
The difficulty is that we are so conditioned not to: everyone knows the path we should be taking, we play by the rules, get educated, hopefully university, married, 2 kids, good job, not forgetting our pension, retire …..and die!
Maybe I’m being a bit cynical but sometimes we all need a wake up call – life is short and I don’t mean that in a morbid way, but in a way to remind each and everyone of us, that it’s so important that:
You follow your Passion and Dreams,
You trust your Intuition, it’s ALWAYS right,
Trust that it will all work out in the end because otherwise we live in fear,
Have the courage to feel the fear and do it anyway!
Accept that you have choices
Be Aware of your choices
Be Accountable for you choices
Make any changes you need to allow you to make better choices!
We are each individual, unique and with our own special talents, and yes you can do want you truly want, live the life you really want, be the person you desire – the only person stopping you is YOU!
It doesn’t have to be something huge or radical, that might not be what you actually want, it might be spending more time with your family, doing something for yourself (such an important one!), learn a new skill, join a Pilates class, try meditation, learn a language, take up dancing, take 6 weeks off work to travel, trek to Everest Base Camp, end a draining relationship, start a new one – whatever pushes your buttons!
Just make a deal with yourself to not put it off but do it right now – stop playing it safe and start really living your life!
