Did you ever wonder how much of your life is being WASTED by waiting?

Unexpected, life-altering...CHANGE.
It happens to the best of us when we aren't paying attention to the ways of the world, while we have our heads turned daydreaming away about how we all want our lives to be perfect. Well what is the point sitting around waiting for the good shit to fall into your lap? We gotta get out there and "roll with the punches" - incredibly cliche', but also incredibly true.

Change can be EVIL, can throw your entire life for a loop, can turn your already fucked up mind upside down, can get you just when you think you've got it all figured out. The truth is, no one EVER has it ALL figured out. If we did there would be no mystery, no surprises..good or bad for us to look forward to in this super loopy rollercoaster we like to "life." Whatever it may be, there is always a reason for every little thing. There is a reason that car beat you to that last spot in the parking lot. There is a reason why you already put your cereal in the bowl and realized you are out of milk. There is a reason people come in and out of your life at certain times, say and do certain things. There is a reason your loved one died. Whether understood or not, Change is NOT random. We might not always be able to see through the dark and stormy clouds and find the sun, but we can at least try because...

Change can also be BEAUTIFUL. It can give you the opportunity to do things with yourself you never thought were possible. It can give you clarity, provide a reawakening, give you an appreciation for something you have never had before, and even sometimes...open up your fucking eyes before its too late. Change can save you when you need to be saved.

We all know the feeling, the complacency, the second that smile morphs into a frown on your tired face, the moment we decide we feel stuck in a place we don't want to be, that exact moment when we yearn for something better, when we realize we NEED to make a change to live happily again. The good news is, we have the power and the ability to make any change we want. We are not restrained. We have enough control over our lives to make that change that we might be desperatly seeking. So what are you waiting for? Every milisecond that passes in your life is WASTED if you are sitting around waiting for something good to fall into your lap. So get the f up and get moving instead wasting anymore of your precious time, that we were so graciously given to live on this earth. Some people don't even get the chance.

Go after what you love. Live your life how YOU want to and not how others expect you to, Get yourself in the RIGHT place for YOU and no one else. Do what you are passionate about. You don't need a well thought out plan, just DO IT.

Whether its a huge career change, moving across the country, ditching that shitty friend/boyfriend/girlfriend that is dragging your heart through the mud, dropping everything you know and making a brand new start. POSITIVE change...big or small...is a start to a beautiful life that you COULD be living.

In closing, every now and then..ask yourself...WTF am I waiting for? And you might just learn something about yourself.
