“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? When will you stop settling for what is? Most of us have two lives. The life we are currently living and the life we would absolutely LOVE to live - a life that is totally Satisfying to our SOUL! A life where we don't have to check our SOUL at the door when we go to work.
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, city lights, 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 particular day as I looked out the window of my home office, a still small voice said to me, "if not now, when, Florence, when?" And that night, instead of listening to all the voices that usually shouted at me all the reasons I could not and should not move to the Okanagan, I paid attention to the 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 closest thing to Hawaii that Canada has. The following month, I moved into my new home in Penticton, BC.
For those of you that are not familiar with the area, Penticton is located in the southern part of British Columbia in an area known as Canada's desert country. The only difference is that unlike a desert, 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 am so happy and grateful that I didn't listen to my "paradigm voices" and I am so very happy and grateful that I did not 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. So NOW is the time to take action.
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.. 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
Friend, don't let this year be another one of "those" years for you. Another year where it's the same old, same old. The same results, the same "stuck" feeling, like you are living ground hog day over and over! Decide, commit, take action! Because if you wait until conditions and circumstances "just right" 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
Friend, I know that You CAN create a 2021 you Absolutely LOVE! You CAN realize your dream(s)!
I believe in You! and I believe in the power that is breathing you and giving you life. And I know that God does not give you a DREAM without giving you the ability and what you need to Realize your DREAMS!
God never gives you a DREAM that matches your Budget. God is not checking your bank account. God is checking your Faith! You have to take the first step in FAITH. You must DECIDE to go for you DREAM. And when you do, when you take one step in FAITH towards God, GOD takes more steps towards you that there are grains of sand in the history of time!! Once you step out in FAITH to go for your DREAM, all manner of things begin to happen to support you in the Realization of Your DREAM!
“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. ...new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; ...and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
This is YOUR Life Friend! ~ Together, Let's Make It A GREAT One!
