One of the comments on my What's the Best? post resonated as a comment that so many women might have made.
RT said "Reading your blog made me smile. It really struck deep. I'm the kind of person to think that their "best case scenario" is the dream that will never come true and their "worst case scenario" is reality. I'm working on believing that I can have a "best case scenario" reality."
So many of us let ourselves be paralyzed by that fear that the Best Case is just a pipe dream. We focus so much on what we don't have and it locks us into that place of lack. We dream of the future and it never comes. And one of the reasons is that we don't ACT. We say, "Oprah would never read my book", so we don't even write. In my post, the whole scenario hinged on Gayle buying my book for Oprah. But if I never write it, she can't possibly buy it. Maybe she still won't, but there is ZERO chance of her extracting it from my head.
"Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Maybe the mere act of writing that book will reveal another dream or path to me. Maybe I'll discover that I really don't want to publish my book, but that my goal is to share my words in another way- maybe greeting cards or T-shirts. It may be that I'll never be on Oprah, but I'll have that same feeling of fulfillment and joy that my vision gave me. It's just a way to feel that feeling and the details are irrelevant. Without my action and dedication, my best case scenario will stay a mere hope in the distance instead of a bright light on my path, leading me on.
Don't forget that right now is a gift- that's why it's a present. (Yes, it's cliche, but it's also true.) Don't wait to to start living once your someday comes, or you're wasting all the gifts that today provides. Start to take the steps and do the work that gets you there. Gayle can't buy my book if it doesn't exist. You can't shine if you're hiding in a cave waiting for tomorrow. Your dreams are waiting for you to head in their direction.
Get up on your path and allow the Universe to shower you with all the Blessings you have in store.
