What have you always wanted to do that you haven’t done yet? I tend to think in terms of creating a project, but for you it might be travel or accomplishing something you’ve wanted to do or overcoming a fear of something.
So what is holding you back? Are you afraid you won’t accomplish it and you don’t like the prospect of failing?
The question that comes to my mind is when will we do these things if not now? When can we have the success we truly want to experience if not now? What are we waiting for?
There’s no time like the present. That’s the old adage and it’s a pretty mundane expression. But when we think of the word present and then we think of all the years we’ve had here, all those previous present moments that we let go by, why not use right now, this present time, to get started with what we have wanted to do but never took that first step.
This project I am creating now, Sixty Something Now, is what I’ve been thinking of doing for over two years now. I’ve finally taken the initial steps to get it moving forward. There is a lot more to do with this and I am anxious to continue with it so that we can facilitate others to either create something new or continue with their project, whatever it is.
Thinking about this on a conscious level, reminds me of the word purpose. As we think back over the years, most of us have just done what we needed to for our families and ourselves to earn a living. We probably didn’t think too much in terms of a purpose. Now, however, I think more of us are looking forward to creating that next thing because it gives us a purpose to look forward to tomorrow, next week, next month, next year and beyond.
What is that for you?
This is re-posted from earlier this year, but thought some who missed it would find it interesting. What do you want to do now?
