The other day I was talking to a friend who was telling me about wanting to sell her house. It had been on the market for awhile and she told me, " it's time". Her words were said with a definite knowing that she was now ready to sell the house without any hesitation or second thoughts.
"It's time", were words that I could relate to, for I have said them many times to myself lately. In fact those two tiny words have become one of my mantras and I start and end my days repeating them to myself.
They are powerful words and can only honestly be said with conviction, when you really know what it is that you are ready to let go of, to make place for what you want in life.
As women, we have a million excuses for holding back on our lives... no time, no money, no support, not well enough, not strong enough, don't know how, your parents never showed you, you have a weak ankles, you aren't creative, your partner does not understand you, your kids need you, you live in the wrong neighbourhood, you had a difficult childhood, there are not enough hours in the day, you have no friends, you are going to wait and do it someday in the future, you're too afraid to take a chance, you might fail, what will people say and I could list many more.
The thing is, sometimes we tell ourselves that we want to make changes in our lives and for a moment in time, we believe we can... but only for a day or two, maybe even a week or a month and then we lose our determination because life gets in the way. This is why most diets and exercise programs fail to work for us. We have the best of intentions but the "timing" was not right or whatever other excuse we can come up with to justify our failure to achieve our goals. It is not our fault.
But sometimes, after wanting something for so long, something kicks in and we know without a doubt, that "it's time". When that sweet moment happens, we let go of the excuses, self-doubts and fears because we know that we are now ready to move forward without having to look back at "what was" because our "what we want" is more important.
What burns in your heart, never goes away... so take a chance and go after what you want by letting go of what is....
