Are You Still At The Starting Gate?

Let’s imagine we are loaded into our individual stalls waiting for the starting gun. Some of us have moved into our current situations willingly and some have bucked and fought, but here we are.

THE SEPARATE STALLS: We have to launch ourselves out of our own spots, our own houses, and our own comforts to sprint forward.

THE BLINDERS: The race belongs to you. To take the best path is to not get caught up in desires and decisions of others. However, when we glimpse someone out ahead doing things that show us what is possible, we can be inspired to go further.

THE WHIP: What will help you race into a new space? Do you need to remind yourself that life is short? Or do you need someone else to hold you accountable to your new dreams? Don’t wait for the pain.

THE JOCKEY: Who is guiding the race? Are you being guided by gratitude, by God, by competitiveness, by desire? Are you moving forward by making intentional decisions?

THE STARTING GUN: Ok, this is an easy one — it means go NOW.
