What Are You Waiting For ...

Spending time with the dying has taught me more lessons than I can count.

Even though I have been teaching these lessons for years and years now, there is new fuel in my mission to share this “other way of being” with you.

I say “other way of being” because we are going against the grain of what is “normal” these days.

We are saying NO to the rat race and deciding that we want a Better and more Peaceful existence.

We KNOW that life is short and that we refuse to accept mediocrity.

We decide that we WILL learn the lessons that life is teaching and live intentionally with purpose, meaning, love, and joy.

One of the lessons my beautiful patients have taught me is this: Do Not Wait.

For many of us, we are waiting …

Waiting to make more money, then we will finally have time to spend more time with our children and spouse.

Waiting to get a better job, then we will have the ability to help others more or spend more time on what we love.

Waiting for that special occasion to use those dishes or wear that outfit.

Waiting for the kids to be at a certain place in their lives, then we can finally take that trip.

Waiting to forgive that person when they …

Waiting to feel more qualified before you start that business.

Waiting to feel better to finally start exercising.

Waiting to eat a healthier diet until we have found the “right” plan.

Waiting to have more time in the mornings, then we will finally start that meditation practice.

Do any of these hit home for you?

They do for me.

I realized that there were pieces of my life and myself that I have been holding back.

You see, there is this popular phrase “the time is now.”

But really, if there is something important to you, it is time to make it happen. It is time to figure out the steps, invest in someone who knows what to do, and take the first simple step forward.

It doesn’t all have to be so hard.

It’s time to make that “Do not wait” list. I first heard this concept from Brendon Burchard, the world's #1 high performance coach, a 3-time New York Times bestselling author.

Take out some paper, or speak your list into your phone recorder.

Make your Do Not Wait list now.

When the end of your life comes, don’t have a list of things you never got around to do or regrets in your mind about the way you lived. Those things can haunt you at the end. I know. The haunting is visible in those last days, weeks, and months of life.

It’s never about owning more things.

It is always about people and the impact you make on them.

It is about having more purpose, meaning, love, and joy.

It is about doing your best to live a healthy life: mind, body, and spirit.

It’s about kicking perfectionism to the curb, because it’s not real anyway.

What is it about for you?

Make your Do Not Wait list now.

Let me know how it went, I love to hear from you. Share something on your list. It might inspire a future blog post.

I never want you to forget how much you matter. That your life matters. It is time to live the life you were designed to live.

So Much Love,

Coach Rachel
