What Are You Waiting For?

The time is now.  Are you ready to move forward with your life?  Some people are unknowingly waiting for permission from someone before they can create their own futures, including their visions of what their best futures could be.  Is that you?

Permission is an interesting topic.  We are praised as small children for asking for permission to do anything and everything.  It is ingrained in being a "good boy or girl", a "good student", a "good friend".  Congrats for asking permission before taking action and for considering other peoples' opinions in your decisions.  That shows empathy and kindness.  What brings praise for children may not get us to where we need to go as adults.

As adults, we are expected to be self-starters, take initiative, to be leaders and to make our mark on the world.  Part of our school district's mission statement is to be self-directed learners.  That is very thoughtful.  Of course, for children in pre-school and lower grades of elementary school, no one could fulfill his or her teaching requirements if students didn't ask for permission to leave the classroom.

Once we are adults, though, we need to ask ourselves what's holding us back.  The first answer that comes to mind may or may not be the ultimate truth, this is a big issue for many people and it's worth the effort to spend some quiet, alone time with it (kind of like a voluntary "time-out").  Maybe light some candles, take a bath, and sit with in for a while, as you focus your energy in between your eyes (your third eye).

Why now?  How about why not now??  Whatever feels like an obstacle can open up a doorway of possibilities after it has been removed.  Do you know what your obstacles are?  

Try this, "I cannot move forward with my life until.......... because...........".  Make a list of the reasons that come up for you.  This is the beginning of your awareness to your obstacles of your best life.  Great work today!!  Please pat yourself on the back for your efforts!

Have a great day!
