“The Perfect Time"
Hello, Friend!
Are YOU Waiting for the perfect time to go after your Dreams? To create a Life You absolutely Love?
Don Shula, one of the greatest professional football coaches in NFL history said this:
"it's the START that STOPS most people". And he is bang on! So, ask yourself this, "if not NOW, then WHEN?" When will you make the move? When will you go for your DREAM?
12 years ago I was sitting in my home office on the 15th floor of a beautiful highrise in Vancouver, looking out the window at some lovely scenery: mountains, trees, and row upon row of streets. And, I was dreaming about moving to the Okanagan Valley where I had vacationed every year for many years and always said to my son and who ever else would listen, "someday I am going to move there." That day, a still small voice said to me, "if not now, when, Florence, when?" And that night instead of listenign to all the voices that would usually shout at me all the reasons I could not and should not move to the Okanagan Valley, I paid attention to that still small voice. That very night I began searching on the internet for places to live in the Okanagan Valley. I knew I wanted to be near the Lake and nature. Three days later I had secured a condo just a few blocks from the Lake in beautiful Penticton, British Columbia. It is one of the most beautiful places and beaches I have been to in Canada. It is the closes thing to Hawaii that Canada has. The following month, I moved to Penticton, BC. Penticton is located in the southern part of British Columbia in an area known as Canada's desert country. The only difference is that there are many lakes - miles and miles of beautiful, pristine, clear water lakes! and beaches and mountains and nature, and super friendly people! And lots of nice warm, dry weather and glorious sunshine for many months of the year.
I didn't wait for the "perfect time" to move to my dream home. I didn't wait for circumstances and conditions to be just right. I simply made a "decision" to go for it! Friend, don't keep waiting for the "perfect time" to go for your dream. Don't allow fear, doubt and worry, lack of self-confidence, feelings of unworthiness, fear of what others will say, stop you from living the life you are meant to live. From being all that you are meant to be! None of us knows how much time we have left on this earth!! None of us knows what our end date is.
My wonderful sister Corinne did not wake up on December 9th, 2020. When she went to sleep on December 8th, she did not know that she would not wake up the next morning. So Friend, I encourage you to LIVE now! DECIDE to live the life you would love NOW! while you still have time.
You can never totally escape risk. It's not something you can live with or without. Something is always at stake. You can only decide which risks to take.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
You CAN Learn how to create a 2021you Absolutely LOVE! You CAN realize your dream(s)!
Friend, don't let this year be another one of "those" years for you. Decide, commit, take action. Because if you wait until conditions and circumstances are a certain way before going after your dream, you may run out of time!
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it NOW." ~ Goethe
I believe in You and the Beauty of Your Dream!
This is YOUR Life Friend! ~ Together, Let's Make It A GREAT One!
