Life is about ceasing the moments. Carpe diem, cease the day. We often find ourselves not becoming the person we thought we would be. If you were honest with yourself and look back 5 years into your past and had a conversation with yourself, how would it go? Would you be happy? Have you surpassed expectations? Have you fallen short? Has nothing changed? What happened to those dreams? To the passion, the determination, the sheer ambition?
Now that can be a lot to process, something that is uncomfortable to think about. Maybe we need to have them uncomfortable conversations with ourselves – or the next 5 years could be more of the same.
We can make small, achievable steps each day to create the life we want. Something as small as doing the washing up the night before, packing our bag for the gym or writing a page of that book we always dreamed of writing. If you make the task small enough, there isn’t a reason you can’t do it. Let’s stop kidding ourselves and take action. Maybe you need a little support in taking that first step, or it all feels too daunting? Reach out to a good friend, family member or a life coach. Start making that change in your life. Today could be the start of living the life you want to live.
