Its hard to watch yourself settle. But its so EASY to take that $10 an hour job that long long ago you thought was the best wage ever. Not only WAS it the best thing ever, but NOW its like a warm blanket that will keep you from going out there and demanding something more for yourself. Its hard to watch yourself settle. It seems even harder, though, to throw that security blanket off and trek out into the storm of the unknown in search of something better....something you have earned....something you've been dreaming of. Its like your old baby blanket your mom kept for you. Its old, it smells, its tattered...you cant even call it a real blanket can you? So do you continue to use this blanket because its the only one thats familiar? No! Of course not! So why do we keep trying to use the same tattered "blanket" and then complain that we arent staying warm enough? You know, the same kind of unfulfilling jobs, unhealthy relationships, financial troubles, dreams put on the backburner. We keep going back to one or more of these things because we are too afraid to face the storm. You look out your window and you see a white out.
Where do I go? How will I stay warm? Will i even get there? How do I know?
How do YOU know unless you throw your blanket to the wind, find your courage, and get out there in the world demanding a better reality?
You could get lost out there. You could learn something new out there. You could gain valuable resources out there. You could feel uncertain out there. You could want to turn back. But I know you will continue forward to better possibilities.
Is this life about hiding under old blankets or is it about stepping out into a world of better possibilities?
No one can make us do it. No one can force us to let go of those things stifling our growth. No one can make us create our dreams. Its up to you to take the first step into your fears...go into the storm.....determine that you will succeed. You will succeed out there. The universe wants nothing more than to support your success......see for yourself....
