Taking the NEXT STEP!!
Im sure we have all reached a point in our lives where we know its time to take that next step, next level, begin the next chapter in our life. It is by far one of the scariest times for all of us. The point where we realize everything we have ever done has led us to THIS! This is our moment to shine and like Eminem says, " You only get one shot, do not miss your chance blow. Opportunity comes once in a life.". The one scary thing is, you know after THIS moment, nothing will ever be the same. Once you cross THIS line, you can not go back. THIS is it and the pressure is on. They say, "Pressure bust pipes, but It can also make diamonds.", only you can decide what it does to you.
We all get to THIS moment, but few rise to the occasion. Few feel the fear and keep walking forward. You can either step into greatness or step back into comfort. Many will choose to step down and let THIS moment pass them by. Once they do that, the rest of their lives become a WHAT IF. You hear it all the time, the guys at the bar saying what they should have, could have, would have done, if they had taken a chance. They fantasize about an alternate world they would be living in, if they would have taken the NEXT STEP. They live in the WHAT IF world, instead of the WHAT"S NEXT world.
How do you take the NEXT STEP?
I can only speak from my own experience and level of consciousness. The NEXT STEP moment is different for all of us. The one thing that remains the same is the feeling we get in our gut. The nervous tension and fearfulness that we may fail. It happens to us all, but taking the NEXT STEP is necessary for personal and spiritual growth. The NEXT STEP is part of our spiritual journey thru this physical world. The NEXT STEP is running towards the ROAR and realizing when we get their, that its not so bad. The NEXT STEP is the NEXT CHAPTER in our lives and its up to us to write it. They say, "Life begins outside of your comfort zone.", and that is exactly what taking the NEXT STEP is all about.
I don't know when your NEXT STEP moment will come, but trust me you will know when its here. My only hope is that when it does come, you can read this blog and know that, what your feeling is felt by everyone who faces their NEXT STEP moments. You must also know that GREATNESS is in all of us and it is what will get us thru to the other side. Life is meant to be lived, so take a deep breath, man up, and TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP!
