What Are You Waiting for?

Often when I am talking to people about the future, they tell me, “I’ll do [such and such a thing] once [such and such happens]” Usually they tell me they must wait for something (sell the house, the kids move out, the divorce is finalized, getting married, getting pregnant, retiring, et cetera).

Must we wait?

I’m going to be really honest here, and may push some of your buttons. Hear me out, and especially if I press any buttons for you, I highly recommend that you really investigate why you are so bothered by what I’m about to write.

Waiting to do, be, or have something that comes from your deepest heartfelt passion is not the right thing to do.

Every moment we put off taking actions toward living our dreams, we are holding back from fulfilling our destinies.

And now I can hear you saying things like,

• “But how can I when I have to do [this other thing I'm, dealing with]?”
• “But how can I when I have all of these responsibilities?”
• “But I don’t know how to do that!”

My short response is, “What do those things have to do with living your passion?”

If you are not taking inspired actions on a regular basis to live your wildest dreams, you are living more in accordance with your fears than your passions.

Here are a few examples of what people say and one possible follow-up question to help them realize that their lack of action isn’t about what they say it is.

“I don’t have enough time.”

“How much time does it take to make a phone call or send an e-mail?”

“I don’t have enough money.”

“How much money does it take to ask a good friend for some help with something?”

“I don’t know how.”

“Who could you ask to start showing you how to do it?”

“I have all of these responsibilities.”

“And how exactly are these responsibilities keeping you from taking one action per day toward what you really desire?”

All of these responses by people are excuses based on fears that are much deeper than the responses would indicate.

What’s the solution?

Let’s learn how to clear our fears and set up support systems and structures that will help us to take frequent inspired actions toward our dreams.

The statements that people make about why they are not acting toward their dreams are rationalizations created by their fearful aspects to avoid the truth. These lies keep people from recognizing the absolutely incredible powers that reside within them. They mask the terror of the fact that we are created to shape the world according to the fire of love that burns within us. They keep us numb to the pain of desiring something and experiencing the feelings that might come up for us if we fall short of our goals.

Go and live free of fear! Do what it takes to remake the world according to your passions!! If you don’t, who will???!!!
