The way forward is not always easy. The prospect of stepping into the unknown can trigger a wide range of emotions. As a general rule we are far more content with what we know than with what we anticipate.
But a life well lived is a life which embraces change. Every day should be seen as a new opportunity to take a chance at something which is challenging.
So much mental anguish is suffered by those who spend more time looking inwards than they spend looking outwards.
The who we are is important. How we got to be the who that we are is impossible to ignore. But it is the prospect of who we are to be and how we are to get there that we must give the space to be inspirational.
Everyone has potential. Everyone has hopes and dreams. It’s personal.
The way to bring everything together is to have a plan. At the very least a rough mental outline of the way forward is advisable.
A plan when realised may not sit comfortably alongside hopes and dreams but the beauty of a plan is that is a work in progress.
The bottom line is putting one foot in front of the other and doing that every day. It starts with appreciating this very moment for what it is and what it offers. Living in the moment is key to living.
Tomorrow starts today.
