Sands of TimeI’ve finally gotten my hands on Tim Ferriss’ book “4 Hour Work Week”! I’ve been eying that book for the past 2 years with immense curiosity as to how someone could work only 4 hours a week and make a sufficient living. Like Curious George, I have prowled the aisles of many library’s, purchased several e-books, visited many websites and joined several programs in hopes of discovering a similar path for myself. The more I searched, the more I believed that it is really possible to work smart and not hard, and live a life doing what you love without money ever being an issue.

Many people have been so burdened with the norm of working a 9-5, and putting their dreams and hopes on hold because people enforce that we must own up to our responsibilities and have a “real job”. Today I question, what is a real job? Why is it that the things that bore the heck out of people and add 10 extra years of misery to their lives are the only ways that people will validate it as being “Real”???

Why is it that when we are kids, we are asked that Million Dollar Question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” and If we say an Astronaut, Ballerina or the President, we are told “You can be whatever you want to be”! However, when we are so called “grown up”, and begin to talk about our dreams and fantasies of becoming…., we are told to “get real”, or told to let go of those childhood dreams and grow up and get a Real Job! What the heck is that???

After pondering these psychotic hypocrisy’s that are excepted by most as “that’s just the way it is”, I want to challenge that mediocre thought and say “NO it’s not!”. The truth is, you can be anything you want to be…a circus clown, a gymnast, a world tour guide, a cameraman for the 6 o’clock news, a celebrity, basketball player….whatever!! You can be anything you want to be. The key is taking ACTION to bring those goals to life and being the one and only person that believes in those dreams and goals despite what others around you may say.

I’ve seen far too many people talk about “When I retire……I will do…..”…………Yeah right! Half of us may never make it to retirement age because of all the stress our boring, unchallenging mundane Jobs have caused us. Please forgive me for my forwardness, but it baffles me how we can devote so many minutes, hours, weeks and years to something that we have absolutely no interest in. Why do we do that??? Because we were told that this is apart of the “Real World”…..Who in the heck came up with that lie???….

Life is what you make of it and each and every one of us has a yearning or desire for so much more. So why then, do we put off our desires to accept the lies of a false reality that someone tries to make us own??? Why aren’t we bold enough to step outside of the status quo, and go against the grain to create our own lives, our own destinies and form our own futures???

The truth is that many of us wait for “perfect conditions” before we ever step out to own up to what we really want. We keep thinking that “now isn’t the time” to enroll in that class, sign up for that program, take that international trip or write that book. We say “maybe next year” the time will be right, in hopes of the delays pushing off those fears that we are too chicken to confront and face. We procrastinate in hopes of ignoring those nagging feelings that say “go for it”, “quit now”…and all of those other bold reminders that let us know that we still have the power in our hands to change our destinies.

If that has been you, I want to say that NOW IS THE TIME!!! There will never be PERFECT CONDITIONS, enough $$$ or a house free of kids. Now is the time, to take the plunge, explore that dream, and act on your visions! NOW IS THE TIME to put you on the schedule and say Yes to your future and No to a life of the LIVING DEAD!!!

NOW IS THE TIME!!!!!!………………….(okay, can you hear me screaming this by now???) Good!!!

Today’s message is to push you into realizing your dreams by TAKING ACTION and knowing that NOW IS THE TIME!!!

Enjoy!
