Yesterday morning, I awoke and did what I do most mornings.

I made a cup of coffee, lit a candle, grabbed my journal and had a quiet conversation with myself.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Then, I asked my heart to show me the life and business I’m meant to live and create.

As I sunk in, my mind flooded with the most amazing images.

Then, I opened my eyes and the tears poured out.

“NOPE. Not today,” I thought. “We are not crying today.”

But, the tears kept coming.

So, I sat with them. I became curious and eventually, I found the source.

I was crying because so much of what I envisioned for myself currently falls into the category of “I’ll do that when _____.”

I’ll do that when …

I have more time.

My business hits the next level.

I lose a few pounds.

I finish this or overcome that.

The reasons to postpone go on and on.

Well, that wasn’t the morning mediation I wanted. I wanted to feel ooey gooey and all warm inside. ????

But, it was the meditation I needed.

That’s the power of quieting your mind, going into your heart and having a conversation with yourself.

You see, I thought I’d completely overcome I’ll-Do-That-When Syndrome. But it turns out I’m still postponing a lot of things I could be doing and enjoying now.

I could be living more now.

As I began journaling, it was as if the whole universe came together and conspired to drive the message home.

The most beautiful song came on my playlist. The song had this lyric in it:

A change of scene would sure be great. The thought is nice to contemplate. But the question begs, why would you wait? And be late for your life.

Message received.

I don’t want to be late for my life.

So, I’m going to start saying yes to a lot of things that have been on my I’ll-Do-It-When list.

And, I invite you along on the journey.

What’s one thing you’re putting off and planning to do when ________?

Are you ready to just do it? To show up and be on time for your life?

(Because your life is happening now.)
