Do you remember that one time when something meant so much to you that your body became excited en masse? You could feel the ripples of energy through your arms and legs. The need to throw your excitement around was so intense.
Do you remember when your summers were too short and your friends were merely extensions of you, your group inseparable?
Do you remember when everything in your life was bright and new, and the excitement and anxiety of what was the come always present? When nothing stood in your way and every obstacle looked like a foam wall instead of one made of bricks?
Those things are still true. Obstacles are still made of foam. The summers are still too short, in fact, the years are now shorter and still shrinking.
Adult life can feel like degeneration instead of growth. The excitement and outlook of childhood disappeared at some point on the way to your dreams. Maybe your projected path became covered by dirt, hidden from view. Maybe the bushes and trees overgrew that forest trail were exploring and your life is now moving down a different and unexpected path. Maybe now every day is bleeding into the next. You've been checking things off the To-Do list at work day in and day out. You've come to know the traffic to and from work. That spot in front of the computer or TV at home has the strongest magnetic force aimed at your butt.
Your life doesn't have to be the sleep-wake cycle of a patch of grass. You can change that. Opportunities are inviting you to approach and take their hand. Take a deep breath and evaluate where you are right now. Where are you reading these words? What were you thinking about before you began this post? What will you do after you've read this?
Well? Where would you like to be in life? Make a list of things you would like to try, interests you would like to explore further, jobs you would like to hold in the future. What steps do you need to take to get there? What is one thing you can do right now, today, to forward your goal?
If you would like a soundboard, let's talk.
