Fall is Upon Us

We get worked up on the idea that we are on the eve of change, we become consumed with reproducing images of where we want to be, only to realize that a few months down the road we are standing in the same place where we have been all along. It’s one thing to fantasize about change and another to actively court and allow these ideas to materialize into something beyond an unanchored thought.

Time and again, we use the excuse that the timing wasn’t right but when is it ever? We need to stop thinking of how romantic the idea of change could be and act on our desires and passions; youth is fleeting and so will the opportunity to do the things on our to do list. So once we realize that time is finite, we must decide to either continue spending it daydreaming and thinking about the possibilities of the should’ve, could’ve, would’ve or we can mentally grow up and start taking the rudimentary steps necessary for those daydreams to become the reality that we wake up to.

Perhaps you have an idea of where you would like to see yourself but are to scared to say it out loud for fear of others judgment. To ease those fears, I’ll let you in on a little a secret that I’ve learned from a wise doctor known to many as Seuss, “those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” People who love you will support you; no questions asked.

Thus, the plan is to ask yourself the hard questions: where do you need to go? What must be done to get there? And how soon do you need to get there? So if there is something you know you should be doing or something you know you would be great at, what’s the hold up? You don’t need to wait for a new years day, you have a new September right as you read this. No need to ask for permission because you’ll be waiting for approval all your life.

So building off of my last post, “The wreckage” and what you are currently reading, the two things I want to change or really work towards are: 1) Financial Freedom and 2) My career.

The hardest part is taking that leap, if you can't see where your headed that's ok. With that said, who wants to join me in changing our lives? And what is it that you want to change and work towards? Fall is upon us, no better time for change then today.
