If you are waiting for a sign...

I recently emcee’d an event on Vashon Island here in Washington State. As my Fiancé and I walked around and looked in cute little shops, I saw this sign.

It might seem simple, but it hit me - ‘what am I waiting for?’

Too often we set measurements: I can’t launch this business till the website and cards are done. I can’t start exercising till I get new running shoes. I can’t take that class I want to take until i have more time at work.

All these items are just excuses why you can’t be the you that you want to be. The you that you can be. We can always find justifications for why things don’t work, but how do we justify makings thing happen? The practice is finding a way to re-frame that discussion into:

1. Why can’t I start the business now my by just telling people verbally?
   
2. Why don’t I see if I can really destroy my old shoes by running in them, then I can get great new ones later....
   
3. Why don’t I take the class now, and see what time frees up when I commit?
   
   

The main lesson I teach people is: make a choice. It is always better to make a choice and fail, rather than stay stagnant. So, what can you do TODAY, that can lead you to the place that you want to be?

If you’re waiting for a sign, THIS IS IT.
