Awaken! What are you waiting for?
"What are you waiting for? Today is the day to let your soul guide you to happiness" CJB
In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to get caught up in the routine, the obligations, and the endless to-do lists. We often find ourselves postponing the things that truly light up our soul, those activities that bring us genuine happiness. But today, I want to challenge you with a simple yet profound question: What are you waiting for?
Life is fleeting, and the moments we spend in joy and fulfillment are the ones that truly enrich our existence. Yet, we delay, we procrastinate, we find reasons to wait. Maybe it's fear, maybe it's doubt, or perhaps it's the mundane belief that there's a 'right time' for happiness. But here's the truth: there is no better time than now—TODAY!—to start living through your soul.
Beauty!
Before I delve into the obvious things you might be waiting for, let me introduce another angle on this question. Do you question your looks? Do you feel you're not as beautiful as someone else? Maybe you've been scrolling through Instagram, admiring those you aspire to resemble. Stop. Use the "What are you waiting for?" question to challenge your ego. In this case, what you're waiting for is to let your soul shine through, ruling over your human mind, which can be swayed by emotional inputs, like Instagram models! Let your soul reassure you that you are beautiful. Whatever your shape or the faults your ego might highlight in the mirror, to your soul, to the universe, to everything—you are stunning, you are perfect, exactly as you should be—TODAY! So, what are you waiting for? Let that message resonate now. You are beautiful as you are.
Travel!
Is there somewhere you've always dreamed of visiting? Maybe it's the Northern Lights you long to see? You might tell yourself, "I'll go when I'm retired," or "Once the kids grow up." But can you truly be sure that tomorrow will come? What if you asked yourself, "What are you waiting for?" Did you know for example, you can start by watching this live cam which tracks the Northern Lights?
The beauty of travel lies not just in the destination but in the journey itself—the experiences, the stories, the memories you gather. Life is unpredictable, and waiting for the 'perfect' time might mean missing out on these extraordinary moments. The Northern Lights don't wait for your retirement; they dance across the sky tonight, tomorrow, every night, regardless of your plans.
By challenging yourself with this question, you're not just contemplating travel; you're embracing life's spontaneity. You're recognizing that the joy of seeing the world isn't bound by age or life stages but by the courage to say, "Why wait? Let's live this dream now."
So, what are you waiting for? Let the adventure begin—TODAY!
Hobbies!
Imagine you're contemplating taking up painting, something you've always wanted to do but never found the time for. You think, "I'll start when I have more free time," or "Once I finish this project at work." But what if you asked yourself, "What are you waiting for?" Suddenly, the excuses seem less valid. Painting could be your soul's way of expressing itself, bringing you joy, peace, and perhaps even a new perspective on life. Why wait?
Or perhaps you've been dreaming of reconnecting with nature, going on that hike you've pinned on your vision board. You might think, "I'll do it when the weather is perfect," or "When I'm less busy." But again, ask, "What are you waiting for?" Nature's beauty doesn't wait for perfect conditions; it exists in every moment, inviting you to immerse yourself in its serenity—TODAY!
This isn't about impulsive decisions or neglecting responsibilities. It's about recognizing that happiness doesn't have a schedule. Your soul's desires are not on a waiting list; they are calling out to you now. By asking yourself, "What are you waiting for?" you're not just questioning your hesitations; you're empowering your soul to take the lead.
Let's delve into how this works:
🌈 Soulful Living: Engaging in activities that make you happy is a direct dialogue with your soul. It's about doing what feels right, not what seems logical or practical by societal standards. Your soul knows what brings you joy, peace, and fulfillment.
🌈 Overcoming Fear: Often, we wait because we're afraid—afraid of failure, judgment, or even success. But when you ask, "What are you waiting for?" you're confronting this fear with the courage your soul provides. Remember, fear is just an illusion created by the ego; your soul sees beyond it.
🌈 Breaking the Cycle: By choosing happiness now, you break the cycle of waiting for external conditions to be perfect. You realize that you are the creator of your happiness, not the circumstances around you.
The BIG 3!
If you have ever used my FEEL4 website you should have noticed it focuses a lot on three main categories. They represent The BIG 3 core areas of your life which encompass all things.
- Health covers both your physical, mental and spiritual health. Examples are meditation, fitness and nutrition.
- Wealth covers anything that you need to produce, pay and or work for. Examples would be the job you do, the house you live in, the garden you cultivate and the products you buy and use.
- Relationships covers every social interaction you have throughout your life with anyone or anything. Examples might be the interaction with family and friends, a dentist, a bond with a pet or even a plant.
Why mention this now? Because you can ask, "What am I waiting for?" in each of these areas. Need to start a diet? Want to change jobs? Feel your relationship needs a deep conversation? Apply this question, and watch your life improve dramatically.
Let's Start This—TODAY!
