Why do we wait?

I have this exact magnet quote on my fridge:

Even though I look at it EVERYDAY, I am still waiting.

Why do we wait for a crisis to make a change?
Why do we wait to pursue our dreams when the "perfect" moment may never come?
Why are we so afraid of failure, of taking a risk, of actually LIVING?

Only when we hear about a diagnosis, have one of our own, or lose someone, do we seem to reflect on our own mortality.

What have you been waiting to start? To finish? To say?
Who have you been waiting to hug? To see? To call?

I'm thinking about this because I have some dreams. I hope that we all are still dreaming! But life and money are getting in my way, and my conundrum is, when will that NEVER be the case? Will I just never pursue my dreams because of these things? There may never be the perfect moment.

I think that these things are part of leading a healthy and happy life! Fulfilling our dreams. No one ever regretted going after a dream! Even if we fail, we learn. And we get right back up again.

"What's your dream?" - do you remember that line from the movie Pretty Woman?

I encourage you to answer that for yourself. What is your dream? If at the end of the next 12 months you had the perfect year, what would that mean? What would the "perfect year" look like for you? Write it down. Post it on your mirror. Read it everyday. Make it happen! Stop waiting. And I will too.


Live a happy, healthy, life right now. What are you waiting for?

Be well,
Mandy
