C’mon, Let’s GO!
Hi. My name is Sherry and, unlike you, the one who has known where they were going and how to get there from the time you left the womb (people like you impress me immensely), it has taken me a while to land on MY mark. And, truth be told, there are still days when I find myself wondering if I have indeed found MY mark or if I’m blindly holding a spot that belongs to someone much more prepared to be in this position.
Get Set!
A sense of dis-ease taps on my shoulder as I sneak peeks at the faces around me, also on their marks. I question my preparedness for this race, wondering how I could ever compete. Maybe I need to wait. Maybe another day would be better.
I kneel down to touch the mark and immediately feel an energy, a current of joy and excitement surge through my fingertips.
Aaahhh, yes. This is MY mark.
I stand up, feeling a sense of confidence, a sense of peace as I wait to hear the words, “Get set!”
Go Sherry, Go!
Without official permission from me and with no real clarity about where I was going, my body began to move. Fear turned into focus. Focus turned into determination. Determination turned into confidence.
And to think, all I had to do was GO!
Let’s be honest….
Embracing the GO is not always easy, especially when we start looking around, comparing ourselves to those around us. As we consider how we “measure up” or if you’re going fast and far enough, it can be challenging to SEE and FEEL the depth of our value. And in those moments, stopping can feel like the right option…the best option…the EASIEST option.
But the big question is do you want EASY or do you want to do the thing that will keep you connected to your ongoing growth and higher purpose?
There will always be bumps in the road. Some of those bumps will cause you to trip and fall. But what matters most is that, no matter how many times you fall, you get up, dust yourself off and move forward again…even if you are moving a little slower than before. It is not about pace, it is about remaining consistent as you do the work to create the life you desire.
