As I sat in the bleachers of the high school wrestling
match, I watched these two young men just circle around each other. Neither one making a move toward the other.
Each was waiting to see what the other was going to do first. I thought to myself, why are they doing
that? Why wait on someone else to do
something before you do what it is you want to do? Just do something, right or wrong, just do
SOMETHING! Great men went for it in
life. Sometimes, the choice will turn
out to be the wrong one but what if that choice; that decision to just go for
it, is the catalyst with which your best life happens? If it is the wrong one, chalk it up to a
lesson learned and go for the next one.
We only get this one single life to live with no do overs when it’s done,
so why go in circles waiting for your chance to get the one perfect move in
when you could make so many surprising moves in the meantime? Stop sidestepping the hard things and just do
SOMETHING! Whether your something ends
up being a colossal mistake or the beginning of your true journey, you will
inevitably know that you didn’t just circle greatness, but that you went for
it. That you spent your one life living
and loving and moving forward. The first
step is always the scariest but exciting adventure awaits us all in this life
as long as we are willing to step outside the safety our circle!
