Ready. Set.

How much of our lives is spent at the starting point? We think about what it is that we would like to accomplish in life but never leave the starting gate. We come up with all sorts of excuses for not taking action. “It’s too much trouble.” “I really don’t have what it takes to do that.” “What would my friends think if I did that?” So we remain in our comfort zone where life is safe. It may not be until later in life that the regrets begin to set in. What might have happened if you had actually stepped out of the starting gate? How might your life look different today? Each day thatpasses without taking action is one less day you have to enjoy your new life.If it is fear of the unknown that holds you back, think of one small step you could take today that would move you closer to what life could hold for you.Once you achieve that, take the next small step. There will be a point at which you have left your old way of life behind and are embracing the new version of you. You are never too old for this to happen. Think of what your sense of accomplishment will be at the end of the journey, What would it take for you to break out of the starting gate to take on a new chapter in your life?
