What If Tomorrow Never Comes!
Do you have dreams, but you are putting them off until you fix this situation or take care of this problem or that problem? Are you just really unhappy where you are, but you refuse to leave until you put all of the "stuff" in place that needs to be in place?
Well I don't know if you realize it or not, but we are living in some very rough times. You are waiting for the perfect time to live your dreams and be happy. Guess what, there is no perfect time like today. Just imagine if you go through your whole life waiting for this and waiting for that to happen before you decided to live your dreams and be happy, and it never happens. What does that look like to you? How will you feel?
Let me just share with you my short story and what gives me the right to talk about this. I have always wanted to start my own magazine. I love magazines. They are all over my house, especially magazines that talk about business and success stories. So in 2003 I decided that a magazine was too expensive to start, so I started my own newspaper titled Women In Business Today. I loved doing the newspaper, but I did not have a team in place to help me carry out my dream. I was doing everything including layout and distribution. I got burned out after one year, so I stopped publishing the paper.
If I had had a team to take up some of the slack, my paper would have kept going, but I wanted to do everything myself, so my dream and myself suffered.
So over past 2 years I have been trying to find things to fill the void of the magazine that I wanted to publish. Nothing was giving me much pleasure. The closes thing that came to filling this void was when I publish my books, but something was still missing.
I must have written my goals down 15 times in the last 8 months and each time I had a different main focus, but the long term goal was always the same and that was to start my
magazine. The problem that I had with these goals was that they really did not excite me. They did not create a fire within me. I had read enough books and listen to enough motivational speakers to know that if I was not following my passion, I would never really be happy and successful.
So for the first time in over 4 years I wrote down my true goals. The first thing on my goal sheet was to focus on creating my magazine. I did the research and I knew that is was less expensive today to publish a magazine with technology being so advanced than when I first thought of doing it, but there was something still holding me back and that was selling ads. I was afraid to sell ads. Most magazines are supported by ads, and selling was my weak point. So I started to put it off again, but I was getting depressed, because nothing was working out, nothing was exciting to me. I was moping around my house and getting nothing done, just waiting for tomorrow to come. Then it hit me, what if tomorrow never comes. I started to talk to myself and say "are you crazy?" You are postponing your life because you are afraid of selling. How sick is that, when all you have to do is find the people who like to sell and put them on your team. After this long talk with myself and a phone conversation with my friend Georgette, I decided that I would not waste another minute not working on my magazine. So where am I today with my magazine? The introductory issue will be out in February 2006.
I hope that this story has inspired you to live your dreams and not wait any longer before you do.
