In today's society, many people make New Years Resolutions, wanting to make changes to their lives. Sometimes we work to make those resolutions a reality, other times those resolutions go by the wayside. Many times when we don't make good on our resolutions, we wonder why we weren't successful. It is then that we often ask why we weren't successful.
What are we waiting for when we don't succeed?
Sometimes we're waiting for someone else to do it for us. Sometimes we want it to be easier than it actually is.
What are we waiting for? Why is it so hard for us to understand that nobody else can make what we want for ourselves happen? Why do we like to blame others for our own failures? Why do we want things to be easy?
It isn't always someone else's fault when you fail at something. Most of the time it's your own fault when you fail. Life isn't easy, and if life was easy, success wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable. We're waiting for something better to come our way without working for it.
This past year I realized that there are times when life is hard, times when life is overwhelming, times when life is enjoyable, times when things come easily, and time when everything seems hard. The times when things were tough made the good times better. Being overwhelmed by a situation wasn't all bad--that's when I seemed to find that my creative streak would come out.
At some point we need to stop waiting, and start doing. In starting to do, even when it is tough, we learn and grow. It is then that we enjoy the good and the things that come easily.
What are we waiting for?
