Want Something? Do Something!

Is there a goal, a wish, an aspiration that lingers on in your thoughts while you keep hoping and waiting to achieve it someday? Is there a problem you wish would just move on to another city, but it has taken up residence in the living room of you mind? Do you abandon your power and sit and wait for a good Samaritan or the Fates to rescue you?  If you have answered yes to my last question there is no need to read any further. You have a plan! Continue waiting for that just right moment.

Chances are many of us are too patient in waiting for life to alter our circumstances, to enrich the quality of our lives or to resolve a problem. Perhaps we are too uncertain of what to do, too afraid of making a mistake or too afraid to fail. There is always a wise partner, family member, friend or professional to offer guidance, suggestions and encouragement when uncertainty/fear holds us back. We abandon our power to influence our outcomes and our life path when we wait too long or do nothing. Mistakes are a normal part of the process, we all make them and they can be corrected as we learn from them.

 How much more rewarding will life be when experiences are enhanced, challenges accepted and met, goals reached, problems resolved and rewards garnered?  Taking action is empowering, waiting is sitting and hoping. We may not always take the right or best action, but there will always be an opportunity for learning, achieving and change when we do.

It’s a New Year, heck, might as well Do something new.
