There is no in-between. Life is ephemeral. Everything is temporary. We only have this moment now, so if you are not consciously doing something that serves you or makes you happy, how does waiting serve you?

When challenging things happen \u2013 and they will \u2013 ask yourself, \u201cWhat's the opportunity here?\u201d \u2013 Rich Litvin

A Coaching Client Story.

One of my clients felt like it was wrong to have a goal around money. I asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with money for you?\u201d He said, \u201cI judge money for not being there.\u201d He felt that he was showing up more in the world and trying to be fully engaged, but he still wasn\u2019t making any more money.

He was anthropomorphizing money, giving it too much power over him. I asked how he could reframe his current perspective in an attempt to see money as a balancing out of energies. The more value you offer without expectation, the more people want to give you another form of value (in this case, money) in return.

We dug a bit deeper into his \u201cmoney narrative\u201d and he told me, \u201cFor anything that\u2019s coming, I\u2019m fighting it. I chose to not work even though it felt like I should have been working.\u201d

This is when I suggested that everything is temporary and I asked him, \u201cHow does waiting serve you?\u201d

We Wait Or We Create!

Instead of waiting for the perfect opportunity or your next big break, ask yourself, \u201cIf I could no longer be an X, what would I do?\u201d What are your skills, talents, and training/education that you could use that are related to what you most want to do? That's the opportunity at this moment. Instead of waiting, you create.

What Are You Waiting For?

Waiting is a recipe for disappointment based on expectations. Waiting is also something you cannot control, namely, you cannot control the outcome. Desire paired with action is a creative activity and the fullest outward expression of your uniqueness. Even when you take action, you still can't control the outcome, but you can control what you do which creates the potential for what you want.
