Are You Still Waiting?
One hour passes than becomes days, weeks, months and even years, the waiting is lasting forever, but nothing you can do about it, right? If it’s not happening, it’s because it’s “meant to be”?
Let me guess you are listening to this inspiring speeches every day, and nothing happens.
At the same time, people are grabbing their opportunity.
I hate to disappoint you, but that moment will likely not happen if you don’t do something about it.
I did believe in this ideology for a long time. I wanted to succeed in life, by waiting till someone tell me how. I felt it for years, I thought life would change me, and I should wait.
The reason why I think this is not the best way to succeed is that things only started to happen to me when I did something about it when I became pro-active.
Shying away and wait, it’s not the right solution if you want something better for your life. And by better, I mean, something that makes you feel alive.
It’s imperative to have faith, and as I mentioned in previous articles without it, there’s no victory. But, having faith and not doing anything about it it’s the same of not having.
Unfortunately, this mindset dooms many people. I don’t know if it was a message misinterpreted or an excuse used by the ones who never achieved anything in their life.
I am pretty sure a very successful person, will not tell you to wait for the ample opportunity, NO!
They will probably tell you, “why the hell you still staring at me instead of doing something about it!”.
Recently while discussing with a friend of mine, she told me I should write about a theme with this title “Can we choose our path, or should we just let it go? “.
It made me think. What does let it go means?
Means that I am breathing, now I should wait patiently for good news?
Means that from now on I am going to wake up whenever I want because one day it will change?
I don’t know exactly where she stands on this topic but made me think, till I started writing about it.
My answer is, we shouldn’t let it go if we are aware it will not take us anywhere. Sorry if I am too logical, but we can determine our path, we can decide what time we wake up, we can pick the people we speak with, we can choose to be healthy, and not drinking alcohol, for instance. Living a life based on “let it go”, there’s a big chance of going nowhere. And I speak by experience; I let myself go for a few years, waiting for someone to show and explain to me how everything works. Couldn’t be more wrong. That person will not show up if I don’t knock on his/her door.
Things only started to happen with me when I decided to make changes and not waiting anymore.
Have you thought about how many opportunities are passing away while you are waiting?
How many people with the same ideology you decided not to speak?
How many great ideas you had, but it was not the right time, because you prefered to wait?
Well, those ideas were stolen by people who decided not to wait and do it instead. And then you will be inspired by their stories but still not do anything about it.
I am writing this article, and my goal is not to inspire you, it’s to wake you the fuck up and hope you start doing something about it. I couldn’t care less about being an inspiration, and then you are living the same life.
The wait is over; your battle starts now!
