Episode 4-334: Are you really ready for it?
We can often get impatient for our hopes and dreams. It’s healthy to have dreams and goals. It’s natural to want to progress. Let’s pause for a moment to
ask – Am I really ready for it? It is easy for me to look at many things I do today in the course of the everyday and realize that there was a lot of preparation that preceded my being able to handle or manage something.
The past few years we have all had a lot of change that we’ve managed. Sometimes it may have felt like it was overwhelming and that was because we did not feel prepared to manage it. Other things seemed difficult, yet manageable, and still other things felt easily manageable because we had experience that allowed us to easily resolve the matter.
The thing I’ve really taken to heart and that I’d like you to think about is that sometimes we may not be quite ready for the things we want. We’ve all heard the stories of the lottery winners that end up broke not long after winning big jackpots. We’ve seen some people fall and fail to get up, we’ve seen others fall that are able to get up. What is the difference, it is that they learned along the way – they learned to get back up and they learned what was needed to keep on keeping on and they can continue to build upon that. I sometimes wonder about people who win on gameshows, but don’t have the means to pay the taxes on the items they have won – it was something that was good, but that they were unprepared to manage. Keeping all this in mind should not discourage us from our goal, rather it should encourage us for the learning along the journey that is our life. All of that learning will help us to better manage the responsibility that comes with our future, if we allow ourselves to learn the lessons of life that we can build upon.
I think when we recognize that our present is preparation for our future, we can live fulfilled as we great the benefit, growth, and momentum that is in each day.
