What ARE You Waiting for?

What ARE You Waiting for?

That is the question on everyone's mind...well almost everyone. We all want to know what are we waiting for?, The weather?, The perfect time?, When you retire? Tomorrow?

It's all a bunch of BS that we feed ourselves.  We feel there is a RIGHT time for this or that. That is the epitome of fracked up ideas of when to start. Start what?...To transform your life and become who you are meant to be.

Let me ask you a question or three.

1) Are you completely happy doing what your doing?

2) Have you accomplished what you really want with your life?

3) What goal(s) have you not finished or started yet?

If you have completed those 3 questions, then why are you here reading this?

I believe you are looking for answers to questions you have never seriously thought of. 

For instance, If I gave you a certified check for 5 million dollars, and put it in your savings account, with only one catch, you couldn't touch it for 21 days.

Would you feel happier, excited, feeling on top of the world?

What would change in your life after you got the money. 

To be honest I could give you 10 million and within a few months to a year, you would have squandered it and have very little to show for it.

Why is that? The truth is you need to learn how to live differently, meaning you need to earn it to appreciate it.

If 5 or 10 million dollars is what would make you happy, then why aren't you making that kind of money?

The point I am trying to prove to you, is that you can have what you want, but you must decide what it is you want...SPECIFICALLY.

I don't mean wait for tomorrow or next week, or when the planets are aligned. I mean today. RIGHT NOW! The majority of you will say yeah, right and forget our conversation.

It doesn't matter what you want, freedom, time with loved ones, traveling around the world, or money. You HAVE to make a conscious decision on what you want in as much detail as possible.

This is the first step in turning your life around. YOU know it, I know it, everyone knows it, except most of us are too lazy thinking it is too difficult to accomplish. It is because no one is holding your hand telling you step by step what, when and how  to do it.

Step 2 is find a guide...(meaning a mentor)...someone who is familiar with the terrain and guide you to the next step.  if you skip this step, it will hold you back and take longer to get to where you want to be.

So you are asking a question, how doe this affect or help my mental health issues from the trauma I endured? That is an excellent question, 

First of all, do you feel safe in your current environment? Are you happy doing what you are doing? Is your counselor giving you the feedback you NEED, or just telling you what you want to hear, or possibly even heard before, just in a different manner?

The best counselors will tell you like it is and won't sugar coat it. If your counselor is like that, then stick with them. 

My goal is to enlighten you to have you feel comfortable kicking your shoes off and enjoying your life as much a possible. We have spent the past week defining what we do and what we need to do to assist more people in being a part of their treatment, but since I am a researcher and my wife a survivor, we have some interesting plans for our visitors.

Prayers,
