After 2 years (where the hell has the time gone) of global pandemic madness, I know many of us were hit with more lows than highs. We’ve been waiting, wishing, and hoping for things to change.
“Surely this HAS to be the last lockdown?”
“Hopefully things will settle down soon…who knows”
“When’s life going to go back to like it was before?”
I’m sick of being stuck in this awkward limbo of uncertainty.
The reality is it’s already been 2 years and it isn’t going away any time soon. And the more time we spend waiting around, the more we’re letting our time and money go down the drain.
I know you’ve done everything you can to keep it together for yourself and your clients – re-organising your calendar like a game of Tetris as yet another postponement/cancellation comes through, staying on top of the latest Government restrictions, updating your COVID-19 policies…waiting to see a faint light at the end of this long, dark, treacherous tunnel.
But I’m tired of being patient. I’m tired of waiting.
It’s time for us to quit surviving and start THRIVING!!
Spicy cough or not, your dreams and ambitions are worth fighting for. Regardless of where you’re at right now on your journey, I want you to go all in and make this your comeback year – no matter what the party poopers around you say.
Let’s stop being reactive to what’s happening right now and start being proactive about the end goal.
Ask yourself:
- By the end of 2022, I want to be…
- Where do I want to be in 5 years’ time?
- In 10 years, I’ll be…
- What actions do I need to take and what changes do I need to make?
Be honest with yourself, don’t pre-emptively sabotage yourself by playing it safe.
Once you’ve answered those questions, start making a plan. Write it all down and hold yourself accountable for ticking off each action and goal.
What you choose to do over the next 12 months will set the tone for the next 5/10/15 years of your life.
You hold all the power to change your life script. It starts and ends with you.
And I know that can feel hella daunting.
Sometimes the best decisions are also the scariest and hardest ones we have to make – more often than not, it’s a sign that you’re making the RIGHT decision. Because nothing great ever came from easy.
So don’t let the fear of making a “wrong” move paralyse you in place. Embrace the fear and turn it into fiery energy because it will push you to grow.
