“I think we should do it.”

“You do?”

“Yes, if we don’t do it now, when will we?”

“I know, I feel the same way.  What happens if one of us loses our job?”

“We’ll deal with that if it ever comes.   You know we always adapt and adjust accordingly.  We’ve always landed on our feet when faced with a challenge.”

“Yah, that’s true.    I agree, I think we should move forward with it.”

Sometimes in our life we are faced with an opportunity to get out of our “comfort zones” and to take a chance.   A chance, that allows for growth.  A chance, that often involves some level of risk.

The hard part is in determining if you are being fearful by questioning the risks involved, or if you are being irresponsible by looking at your “wants” more than your life-long future.  When we come up with justification to make a big “move” just because we do not like where we currently are, it can be a premature “move.”  When you are not ready to take on the risks involved,  making the “leap” before it is the right time, can end with more life learning experiences.

A wise person moves when they are ready, but knows when they are not yet ready.  A foolish person moves when they are not ready, but thinks they are ready.  The transition from a foolish person to a wise person comes with experience, patience, and objective knowledge of the situation.   If you do not yet know if you are ready for the “move” whatever it may be, it may help you to ask the opinions of a trusted few.  People who will tell you what you need to hear, rather than what you want to hear.

Many times, our mate is that person.  When we have tough decisions to make, it usually involves our mate one way or another.  As such, it generally makes sense to ask for their opinion and to assist in the decision-making process.  Let go of the need to do everything on your own.  Just like a doctor does not perform surgery on or self-diagnose themselves, you should ask for help from someone outside of the situation.

Getting out of your “comfort zones” promotes growth, and allows for you to experience new things in life.  We recommend that you consider taking the “leaps” and making the changes necessary to continue on your life’s journey towards those life-long beacons.  When you find yourself afraid to make a change in your career or your job, because you like the “benefits” that may be a hint that it may be time for you to “shake” things up a bit.

Be smart, be calculating, and then close your eyes and take the leap.  Life is not to be pre-configured, but to be planned as best you can and then to let go and trust the universe and yourself, to make the best of any situation.
