Talk is Cheap

Have you ever caught yourself saying the same thing over and over? Things like:

I’d like to change careers or start a business... BUT...
* I don’t know what I should do; I only know its not this...
* I’m afraid I won’t be able to make enough money and do something I love.
* I’m too old, young, rich, poor, educated, uneducated, and on and on....

I would really love to <insert your greatest passion> (travel, write, indulge in finer things, etc.) more BUT...
* I’m pinching every penny and maybe I’ll get to do that someday when I retire.
* I could never get the time off from work and when I do it only makes returning worse so why bother going at all.
* I have too many obligations with work, family, etc. that there just isn’t ever any time.

And so you march on, doing what you’re doing and another year’s calendar goes into the heap, and you go through the whole song and dance again having the exact same conversations at holiday dinners as you did LAST year. Are you having fun yet?!

I know it might sound harsh...but really, how much are you enjoying your life on the job and off? If you’re truly living fully and pursuing all your dreams then great...but if instead you are if you are hearing yourself saying "There’s Gotta Be Something Better Than This!" more often than not, it’s time for a reinvention (and maybe an intervention too...but that’s another article!)

I know what it is like to be at that place. I felt that way my final year of college and it only got worse from there when I entered the workforce and began my decade plus journey of being a square peg in a round hole. I literally have an article I wrote the year after I graduated college in which I essentially asked the question - there has to be more to life than this, right? When you’re working in a job that doesn’t fit or you are trying to start a business but you just aren’t seeing results, it is more than just a poor fit; it becomes a crisis of faith.

This is where you can either choose to continue with the talk (it is cheap, easy, and doesn’t require any action or commitment after all) or step into a decision to take action.

This is the kind of crisis of faith that can end in regret, a half-lived life, and a generally dull, gray existence that makes you feel day-in and day-out, "this is it?" Sigh...

Or you can step up and do something different...

That’s because even if you’ve been brainwashed by well-meaning family, friends, and colleagues, this ISN’T as good as it gets. You can always grow a little more, love a little more, and live a little more. You are either growing and expanding or dying. Which one of these describes you?

I would like to present you with an important choice point today. You don’t need to tell anyone else and you don’t even need to change anything instantly. You only need to ask yourself deep within your heart and listen to the answer that emerges.

Do you want to allow your life force to leak away in the day-to-day activities of living that aren’t aligned with your life purpose? Or, do you want to tap into the power within you to harness your life force and the very brilliance that is you and only you and create something far more meaningful and successful for your one precious life?

The choice is yours...

If you are ready to stop talking about what you want and actually start taking action to make it a living, breathing reality, I would love to connect with you. Go to my website listed in my bio/resource box and let me know that you are ready to have a Breakthrough Acceleration Meeting. Give yourself the gift of this powerful conversation that can literally be the catalyst for this change you’ve been wanting for so long.
