I am not sure if my Dad would read this, but if you do Dad I want you to know I am grateful for the advice & I know you will hate that I have written about you.
As some of you may know I had to quickly fly to Sydney to see my Dad as he is quite sick. November 2021 he was diagnosed with Mesothelioma (cancer from asbestos) he was then given 18months to 2 years. During this time he had hoped to get back to New Zealand & the UK places that he loved to visit. But he just kept waiting... whether that was for money reasons or just because it wasn't the 'right time'
Now as he sits in the hospital with approx 2-3 months left of his life his words were "I wish I had done more ....."
So when is the RIGHT time? When is the right time to book that trip, leave that job, leave a relationship, join a gym, quit drinking, start running, say the words, be the person you want?
We may not always have the funds and let's face it those bloody interest rates are always rising. But do we have the CHOICE... You are a second away from choosing something different.
So what does stop us? FEAR, FEAR OF CHANGE , FEAR OF BEING ALONE, FEAR OF FAILING, FEAR OF BEING VULNERABLE.
I bet through your lives you have all done something that has scared you a little. How did it feel?
Stop waiting for the perfect day or time or worrying about what COULD go WRONG and think about what CAN go RIGHT. Take action on what you want and be true to yourself...
I have done a few things in my life that have scared the shit out of me at the time but have been the best thing ever. Some days I still second guess myself and hold back, but after hearing what my Dad said... I don't want to regret holding back.
Take the chance .......
