What is it that’s holding you prisoner? What’s keeping you from exhaling? More importantly, what are you waiting on? Oh wait, let me guess…..you’re waiting on the right job, the right church, the right house, the right man, the right amount of money. The list is endless. But you know what happens when we wait? We just end up waiting some more!!
Seriously, that so called “right” job comes along and you’ll find yourself still holding your breath. You think you found that perfect house yet you still can’t exhale. You finally got that degree but you are still waiting……So again I ask you; what exactly are you waiting on? We tend to forget that "Father Time" is still marching forward.
I recently read another book by Rhonda Britten called Fearless Living and I want to share the following excerpt that I found eye opening for me and I hope it touches you.
“Think of the last twenty-four hours. What percentage of those hours were spent just surviving? Surviving means you are settling…waiting for the other shoe to drop…hiding your-self from other people…doubting yourself...never allowing anyone really to get to know you…having friends that are more like enemies…doing things because you think you have to, need to, or should…saying yes when you really want to say no…comparing yourself to anyone and everyone…Living on the other hand, means saying no when you mean no…being grateful for the good in your life…smiling out of the blue…never holding a grudge…being willing to fall in love without the guarantee that you won’t get hurt…telling yourself you can do it when fear makes you think you can not…”
Ladies it’s time to step out of that comfort zone, start living, and love YOU enough to finally exhale!
