I’m a dreamer. I love thinking about the big things I want to accomplish in my life, reading inspirational quotes and making Dream Boards.
And I love to encourage other people to dream big too.
But it’s not enough to just dream. You’ve got to get off your ass and take action.
And it needs to be NOW.
Why?
Because now is all we have.
You can say you’ll do something “tomorrow”—but we’re all going to run out of tomorrows. And none of us know when that will be.
As Wayne Dyer said, “Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.”
Want to open a yoga studio? You can talk about it all you want, but it’s not going to happen until you put together your business plan and look at spaces to rent.
Don’t know how? Do some research. Read a business book or read articles online. Approach a yoga studio owner that you know and ask if they’ll be your mentor and guide you through the process.
Want to take a trip to another country? Book it today. Don’t have the money? Find an organization that will cover your expenses if you volunteer your time.
Get creative. Use your resources. Stop making excuses.
It’s time for all of us to stop talking about what we WANT to do and just DO IT already.
We can’t afford to stay stuck. Life is too short for that.
There’s a fable from “The Prayer of Jabez” that always gets my butt into gear.
It’s about a man who dies and meets Peter at the pearly gates.
Peter tells the man that he can go anywhere he wants along the golden streets and beautiful mansions—except through one door.
But the man—curious about what secrets would be in heaven—opens the door.
What he finds is a room lined floor-to-ceiling with boxes, and each box has a name on it.
“Do I have one?” the man asks Peter.
“Yes, you do,” Peter answers. But before Peter can warn him, the man has opened his box.
“Inside that box is everything that you could have had while you were on earth,” Peter says to him. “Every experience you wanted to have, every person you wanted to help. If you had only asked for it.”
What’s inside your box? You’ve got to ask for it and then go for it. Because you don’t want to get to the pearly gates only to realize that you never went after what you wanted.
So take one action today to get closer to your goal—and share it with me in the comments below. What’s that thing that you’ve been putting off? What step did you take today?
