What Do You Really Want?

It seems like an easy enough question right? But do you know? And even when you do know we start to really complicate it by layering on statements like “but I don’t know”, or “maybe one day”, or “it’s not really realistic” - in short, we give up on whatever it is before we even give ourselves a chance to get started.

What do you really want? Yes, the things that show up and should be on your Vision Board (Faux Farm with lots of goats and more cats, because I’ve decided it’s socially acceptable to have more than three cats on a faux farm vs. living in a residential area without running the risk of being called a cat lady - but where was I?). For most of us creating a Vision Board for the future seems easy - because truthfully (and I’m going to be blunt), it seems so far in the future and currently out of reach that it almost means you don’t have to do anything about it. Sigh. I know, that one stung

I’m talking about what you want NOW to look and feel like. What do you want your day-to-day life to look and feel like if you broke out of the cycle of getting through each week. Do you want more down time with the opportunity to start reading books again? Do you want to get out and experience things more? Do you want to change jobs or professions all together? What do you want without attaching statements like “one day to it.

Here’s the thing. You need to decide what you want - big or small and go after it. More thinking, planning, and hesitating isn’t going to get you closer to it. And sitting on whatever it is isn’t going to lead to a full life while your on the path to fulfilling those greater and grander visions you have on that beautiful board of yours.

Decide. Stop waiting for motivation. If it’s something you really want - decide. Take action. It really is that simple. If it’s not something you really want - you’ll typically find words like “I should” attached to it - just saying ;)

As always, thanks for choosing to be here.
