Begin the adventure, start your revolution of change

Now that you have a sense of what you want – just begin. This can be the hardest stage. You may find opportunities to do something else. There is always another crisis that needs your attention or another person.

What are your reasons not to start? What are your saboteurs? What takes you out of backing up your commitment with action? How bad does it have to get to move?

Life does a funny thing to us. If we don’t move, it moves us. How many times have you procrastinated only to act out of necessity? You may tell yourself that you don’t know what to do. You don’t want to mess up so you do more research. You want to get it right.

As you analyze the situation, the situation changes and you lose the opportunity and you are forced to respond in a way you rather not.

Get it wrong. Commit. Trust that even a wrong decision can lead to the right place.

How many times in your life has magic shown up because you didn’t do your normal thing? When you are moving, your life comes at you. The particular energy and movement of going for your dream is powerful. It might be scary for you. It is real – you are alive.
