One of the biggest life lessons I’ve ever had to learn is that time has a way of slipping from you pretty rapidly; always changing, always going in another direction, always slipping through your fingers…
And there have been many times that I’ve been told I need to wait, I need to be patient, I need to “get ready” for the things I wanted in life.
They told me to wait to have kids.
They told me to wait to buy a house.
They told me to wait to move again.
They told me to wait to hire that new team member.
They told me to wait to launch that offer.
They told me to wait to buy that truck.
It seems as though everywhere I turn, someone is telling me to –
Relax
Slow Down
Wait
Be Patient!
But here’s the thing –
Life waits for no one. Your dreams wait for no one. If you don’t go after them, someone else will, and you’ll miss out.
I’ve learned that the longer I wait, the harder it is to achieve something. The longer I prepare, save up, get ready –
Ultimately, the less I want it when I’m finally “able” to (at least, according to what everyone else thinks in terms of WHEN).
Aren’t you tired of waiting? I mean, really… why the hell would you wait to have something that you could have now? Why would you deny yourself of that pleasure? Don’t you agree that that’s a big ridiculous.. waiting to have what you want, even though you could have and enjoy it now?
Waiting is just a form of perfectionism.
Waiting is just being a masochist and loving the pain of not having what you want.
Waiting is just being fucking lazy about doing what’s necessary to HAVE what you’re desiring.
What’s true is this:
The time is NOW. The time is always now. There is no waiting necessary; for anything that you want. You don’t have to wait until you’re “ready” (you’ll never be ready, trust me). You don’t have to wait until you’ve done X,Y, and Z first (they don’t mean anything). And you definitely don’t have to wait until someone ELSE tells you that it’s time.
The time is not next year, next week, tomorrow, or even an hour from now.
The time is right now in this very moment.
What is it that you desire?
What is it that you’ve been putting off?
What is it that you’ve been waiting so patiently for?
Today, I encourage you to do this:
>> Decide that the time is now (trust me, it is).
>> Journal on what it would feel like to achieve/have this thing that you want.
>> Do things that make you feel those feelings.
>> Affirm that the time is now, it’s already DONE, what you want is already yours.
>> Let it be so.
Once you let down that wall of resistance (which is really just you convincing yourself that you should wait), and you start to actively call in what it is that you desire, you’ll find that all of a sudden (it happens pretty quickly), things start to take place REALLY fucking fast.
And the next thing you know –
That thing that you kept telling yourself you weren’t allowed to have/experience yet, is right there, and you’re enjoying it NOW.
Please understand that what you were brought up to believe (you have to work really hard, with lots of sacrifice, for a long freaking time before you get to enjoy life and have the things that you want) is simply incorrect. We’re brought up believing it, without actually verifying if it’s true or not, because we see it as the one and only truth.
But what if there was another truth?
What if you didn’t have to work really hard?
What if you didn’t have to sacrifice anything?
What if you didn’t have to wait a long freaking time?
What if you could be, do and have EVERYTHING you’ve ever wanted, and what if you could be, do and have it right now? Don’t you think that would be pretty amazing?
Guess what –
It’s all VERY possible. As soon as you let go of the belief that things have to be hard, they become SO much easier.
Let it be easy. Let yourself have what you want NOW. There is no waiting necessary.
