I don’t believe in “being ready” for things. Like one day you’re just going to wake up “ready” to move on, travel to another country or make some drastic life change, but today just isn’t the day?
What are you waiting for? A sign from some omnipresent creator urging you to take a leap out of your comfort zone and make a mad dash towards change?
Or maybe you’ll just feel it in your veins, something different… some tingly sensation that will let you know it’s time, today is the day — you’re “ready.”
Odds are you’re scared. Scared of failure or not being able to fill the void moving on would create. Scared you won’t like where your change takes you and since life isn’t exactly Direct TV, you can’t rewind. Fearful that what you’ll leave behind is better than what your future holds.
Afraid of the inevitable whispers behind your back, sideways looks and broken friendships. Change isn’t comfortable. Satisfaction isn’t guaranteed and there is no return policy.
