When Others Move Forward

I just took a huge step in my life.  I moved forward.  It was awesome and wonderful and I am so grateful and happy for my new adventure.
All that said.  I have people in my life who are now moving forward.  I am so excited and happy for them.  But I'm not gonna lie, it's hard. The shoe is on the other foot.  Yes I am being supportive, yes I am being encouraging, but then I think inside..."What about me?"  I'm realizing the level of faith and believing I called upon to make it through my own move, is what i am calling on to make it through their move(s).  I have to believe not only that this is good for them, but that I will be okay and that it is somehow good for me too.  In writing it, it seems self centered... whaaaa what about me.  But in all honesty when things are good I like them to stay that way.  So now I choose the same faith and belief.  And voila, that gets the focus off of me, (worry) and back on them (adventure) and I find myself letting go and trusting that this change is good all the way around and it is.  I see now why people have a hard time encouraging others to move forward when the "moving forward" affects them in a hard way. Encouraging and blessing others isn't always that easy.  Sometimes it takes good self talk and putting aside my own fear.  Ouch.. I said it... now I can continue to move forward and bless others... very aware of the vicious cycle of fear and adventure and the self talk that goes with it. 
Make it a great day!!

"Knowledge with out action equals nothing"
  Mastin Kipp of The Daily Love


Remember when you were about to do something really scary?  Your first kiss? First speech? First day of college?  First day on the new job?
You had to step out and try something out of your comfort zone. 
How did it feel? Was it scary? Exciting? Exhilarating?
All three?
Comfort zone is a scary word. 
It's a scary place.
Just before something wonderful and exciting happens,
we are faced with the choice to stretch or stay.
When we are younger the choice seems obvious.
Because we are expected to spread our wings.
As we get older it is harder because we are expected
to be responsible and "safe."
I was part of a conversation the other day that was fascinating.
At a wedding, a man sitting at a table with his mom and friends, was telling
me his life experiences.
His mom kept chiding in.
He said: after 911 my department was the first to be let go at Boeing.
She said: I wish you would have stayed at Boeing.
He said: I tried some different sales jobs.
She said: I wish you would have done sales at Boeing.
He said: I became a car salesman and I LOVE it. I love sales.
She said:  I really wish you would have stayed at Boeing.
He said: I like to take risks and try new things, life is too short.
He asked me to sum up my book in one sentence.
I said: Never give up on your dreams.
His bright eyes and smile told me he was so happy to have someone on his team.
Where can you stretch?
What are you wanting to do so badly but are so afraid to take the step?
The gremlin's are telling you...
Who are you to think you can.....
You can't do that...
Are you crazy?
Ask yourself, When I'm on my death bed, what am i going to regret the most?
Do it.
