Have you ever put off something you wanted to do?
Seen yourself as, “that kind of person” but never really got around to doing the things that make you – you?
I left meditation class yesterday and as I did the teacher said to all of us, “Have a great day everyone. Enjoy it. Really enjoy it. Life is not a dress rehearsal. We only get one shot at this.”
So true.
So I left there thinking about my life.
I see myself as an “outdoorsy” kind of person. Not off climbing cliffs or jumping out of planes but more the kind of Mama who is out at the park, walking on the beach with the kids and dogs. Sitting in the sunshine, smiling and drinking green juice whilst the kids play.
But between the rain, my laziness, a lack of routine – my poor doggies (and children) haven’t been outdoors in a while.
I also LOVE tennis. But I am totally scared to join a social club for fear of failure (embarrassment at my serving attempts, humiliation of missing the ball time and time again).
I,of course, like you, have my excuses…..
But that shouldn’t stop us from pursuing our passions.
Without examining who we want to be (giving time to our dreams) and bursting through our fear barriers (even if they seem trivial) we can’t live the life we want to live.
What are you NOT doing that you want to be? I’d love to know. Maybe we can become the person we want to be together 🙂
I’ll play tennis with you! And my serve sucks as well 🙂
Yay! It’s not just me then – maybe there are more of us out there?
if it wasn’t for work hon, I could be traveling , one day ……………….
start booking! you only live once!
Join a tennis club! Join a tennis club!!
And then maybe I’ll take up horseriding again, or a hip hop dance class, or set up an etsy shop…ooooh! So many dreams 😉
Ooh a challenge. If and when i post of picture/post of me in my tennis gear Ill need one of you on your horse…doing hip hop or the address of your etsy shop!
For as long as I can remember I have wanted to learn the guitar but just haven’t tried. I even own a guitar!
Oooh time to find a teacher!
At this point in time, I’d love a few extra hours in the day just to through my to do list- I haven’t even thought about optional extras! Writing that makes me sad. Need to renovate my life to get fun back into it!!
I think that you get done what you need to. Everything else is for another day xx
I am trying to find balance in my life at the moment – I need to do more self care!
