What Are You Waiting For?!?!

      ​I remember, as a younger me, saying that I wanted to do this and do that. Travel here and travel there. I planned it all out in my head everything that I wanted to and could get done before I got.......... older. Then life happened. A whooooooole lot of life. I got married, had kids, got sick and time passed me by quickly. My this, that, travel here and there all got placed on the shelf next to my old volleyball shoes and my children's baby blankets.
​      I thought that because of all this life that has happened to me that it would be next to impossible to even think of doing any of those things that I thought of in my head. I look on FB and IG and see all my old friends and classmates living their best life and I'm just here feeling like a bump on a log and feeling sorry for myself because my this and my that seems so un-doable. But is it? One day I just had an epiphany. A reality check. A come to Jesus as the elders would say. There are two things that I can actually do from this point forward. I can either:
 
1. continue to feel like a bump on a log, grow older faster and just wait to die. Or I can

2. make the best out of whatever time I have left here on this Earth and live my best life too. 
​
      The reality is that as long as we have breath in our bodies, we all have the ability to carry out any dream, vision or plan that we can think of. None of these things have an age limit or a time stamp on it, we apply those limits to it and then we stay loyal to them. But the chose is 1000% ours. So I'm asking myself and I'm asking you too....... What are you waiting for? Don't worry, I'll wait. But not to long because I'm about to go live my best life. You coming?
