Day 8: Take a Risk, Take a Chance....

(and break away....) - I know you were singing it!
(and just so you can fulfill your desire..here it is!)



This topic has been on my heart lately. You see, there is something about risk that we all hate: the unknown. It's so easy to think what could have been...but to actually jump feet first...that's a scary thing.

The reality is - staying in the same place is the risky part. Sure you think it's safe...sure you feel like your 'steady' pay is enough, but in these times - no one is safe. I don't mean to say that I don't feel safe ... but the truth is everyone has the opportunity to move to a different place in life. I went from a 9-5 job...to working retail...and it was just that quick.

But I haven't felt safe. Or steady. Until now.

And my risk has NOT been living my dream. Waking up day in an day out with the same feelings....not pursuing something that I love with so much intent that it hurts. Not falling for something that I cannot live without but failing to take the steps I need to make things happen.

Are you there? Do you have something that is SO strong and you are SO passionate about but you don't want to jump? You are taking such a big risk not to.

But you say...wait, what about this and that? what about falling flat on my face? what about it not working out?

My question to you: are you passionate about what you are doing? Do you want to be the same person as you are today? What is driving you to wake up in the morning, working you to death, and helping put food on the table? Do you love it?

If you don't love what you are doing - take a risk, make a change - break away from 'popular' schools of thought that you have to have a "real" job...and do it.

I don't want to live another day without working my passion.
I can't not do it.
I love it to much.

You owe it to yourself & your family - get serious.make a plan.jump.and never look back.

Believing in your risks,
Lida
