What Are We Waiting For?

Last night I not only got to watch one of my favourite shows, but I went over to a girlfriend's to watch it. We drank wine, ate strawberries, and just relaxed. During the commercials we talked and caught up on our lives, and she revealed to me the problems she was having with her family and job, and how she wanted to move but the guilt she felt to take care of her family members was overpowering.

This girl's life is moving in such slow motion, she's getting no where fast, it's almost in a stand still, and she needs a major push to get going. At this point in her life she needs to be a little selfish to get what she wants. You almost want to ask her, what is she waiting for? But really, aren't we all like this?

I mean, I am dying to lose weight - why haven't I done it yet? Why haven't I focused on it and really made it my goal to do something about it? I have no idea, I definitely don't want to be fat forever, but what am I waiting for? Some magic drink to fall out of the sky? A liposuction gift certificate? Seriously though, I am putting my dreams on somebody else, so I don't have to be responsible for it. Sometimes I just need to grow up and smell the Starbucks.

Today I am packing up my house, not sure where we're moving yet and we move in 10 days. We're going to see a rental in the beaches today, and I am so excited I could scream. But I won't.

We should all make it a resolution to figure out what the biggest thing we dream about is, something atainable and reachable, and just start working towards it. Don't make a big deal about it, but cut out the sweets, make your business cards, do whatever the first step is in your goal and just do it. No one else will do it for you.

What are you waiting for?
