Do you want to be standing in the same place in December 2019?

Beginning is that hardest part, but do it anyway. 

As much as I would love for life to present me with the perfect timing for everything, its just not realistic. I have had this conversation with a few of my clients. They think they need to wait until this, that and whatever else is all lined up. Or another common theme is “I don’t know enough yet!” Well let me tell you this: JUST BEGIN. Otherwise, time will pass by, and you still will have ignored your goals. 

You don’t need to have all your ducks in a row to begin. Heck, you don’t even need to know where your ducks are when you start. If I have learned anything its that beginning is the hardest part, but as you get going you notice things start falling into place. You learn as you go, you slowly gain confidence, and suddenly you have arrived to the place you were sure you wouldn’t get too. 

My question is: what is the price you’ll pay if you’re in the same spot 12 months from now? We are heading into a new year, do you want to be standing in the same place in December 2019? I sure don't. I want to continue learning, growing, and honouring my commitment to never stop expanding. 

Will you feel happy and be living a passionate life if everything remains as it is? Will you love your career and have a work/life balance? I answered this same question a few months ago, and I didn’t like my answer. I committed to making a change, so in one year from now my story will be different.

Making changes in your life can be overwhelming. Sometimes the uncertainty of change can halt the process, but you can’t let it win. You have to decide what is more important: staying in your comfort zone, or taking the leap of faith in order to live a purposeful life! So again, what are you doing today that can help you tomorrow?

Its so often I hear people say, “I wish I had of just went for it!” People walk the streets with regret over the things they never took a chance on. Is this how you want to live your life? I know I don’t. 

Cheers to 2019, a year of growth and change.
