It’s time for a wake-up call.
Do you really need to have a health crisis or extreme emergency before pursuing what you want in life?
Many people live that way; it’s normal and common, but do you want to live that way?
Is it really that important to stay safe, look good, and maintain the status quo? None of those things are making you happy or fulfilling your dreams so why are they still getting so much air time?
If I could reach through the screen and give you a nudge I would. Because I’m passionate about living without regrets. And while this may seem like a rant, bear with me – I’m committed to something and I want to make sure you know it.
I’m committed to living out loud, as fully and as authentically as I can and sometimes that gets messy.
I’m OK with messy, and I’ll admit I even like to stir things up.
Occasionally someone will suggest I tone it down a bit (Do you really need to say those things, Sandi?) and sure, I could, but I don’t want to live that way.
I don’t want to live a toned down life, and I don’t think you do either.
Life gets messy. It’ll never be perfect. You’ll never get it all handled. And so what.
I’m not saying it’s easy. Some days I want to throw in the towel and take the easy path just as much if not more than you do.
But the truth is the easy path bores me to tears.
It’s not why we’re here.
I’m talking to you…the one who’s wasting your genius in that life-sucking job.
And you…the one oozing creativity in everything you do except for your work.
And you…the one who daydreams of living a life you love.
Someday. Maybe. Can you hear the death bell toll?
