Spending Most of Your Life Waiting

All our lives we wait for “tomorrow” to spin the wheel of life for us. We live with the intuition that time will heal everything. We neglect our families during the week with the hope that we’ll entitle our weekends for them. We wait for the “new year” for a fresh start and we anticipate taking that vacation to live our vibrant lives. But do we ever ask ourselves what we’re exactly doing to ourselves amidst all this holding on?

No one knows if “tomorrow” is promised. Next year is going to be the next year we can not shorten the time or reciprocate now with the upcoming year. While we wait, for the weekend or that perfect time to take that vacation, time won’t put itself to a halt waiting for us, and I think this is one of the time’s gravest qualities that it continues to pass. Time doesn’t wait for us so in all fairness, we shouldn’t wait for it either. If we want things to take a turn for us, it has to occur right away. This transition should be carried out and welcomed with all strength and audacity.

We constantly worry that we will not be able to achieve the milestones we have set our eyes for, that we will fail and disappoint ourselves and those around us. However, these are some beliefs that bound us but these can only be more powerful than us if we allow them to.

This can be extremely scary.

Instead of this, we need to regulate our emotions. We have to modify our thoughts in a way that they begin to reflect our passion, resilience, and bravery.

Tell yourself that you can be a better person, you can achieve anything in life, that you don’t need to replicate what someone else is doing, that you will be the best version of yourself, and that your potential is endless.

So have some fun, love yourself, and make an effort.

Let the magic embrace you.
