Go for it....
L. Kevin McCormick
"When someone says you can't do it. DO IT TWICE and take pictures." "Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way." -Booker T. Washington
We say we want change but do we really??? I mean do we really want change, the kind of change that will turn our lives into something brand new? Or do we just want our lives tweeked a little and just call it change but without all of the birthing pains. You know what I'm saying here but are you listening?
If we really mean business then 'let's go for it' ....but when it gets hard are you going to tuck tail and run back for your regular tweeking? Change sounds fun, maybe even a little romantic or adventuresome. But ask the butterfly if it feels good to be transformed; to be led away from the normal everyday tasks and be closed away in darkness for a long period of time and struggle to even get free and finally fly. Yes, we say we want change but oh how we scream when its time to be isolated from our comfortable little nests of everyday life and go through the process of darkness that change requires. It is in the darkness that life truly begins!!!
No way could we except change in such a dramatic way unless we made a sound decision that forced us to live beyond our feelings and live a lot deeper. Deep calls out to the deep and there is where the transformation begins. Is there an authentic deep part in your soul that yearns for change so bad that you are willing to hurt for it? If so...then let us do it together one step at a time. For starters you must make certain that what you want is still going to be your desire when your world comes crashing down on your head!!! If you are still in, then you must take the first step towards the darkness that lies just in front of you...the uncertainty of not having it all figured out and 'Go for it!'
Go ahead and do it...but before you start... Ask yourself this very important question first: "Are you doing this for someone else?" If your answer is 'yes' then know this, "you won't make it through the temptations that lie ahead." See when you are in that place of utter darkness and your flesh begins to burn and you're crawling on the ground in pain, you want have anyone there to help you and so you are going to have to push yourself to keep on going. "Are you ready? Are you prepared?" When all of our worst nightmares come to life we find ourselves face to face with the truths we need to know and then change begins to unfold! And to clarify I'm not talking about 'head knowledge' I am talking about trading your last drop of hope on understanding and trade it for what you say you want...dreams are attainable but not without letting it all go. From the point when we have let go of our dead intentions our transformation gains momentum in the direction of what we started our search for from the very begining. But if we don't go into the darkness we will just settle for being a clone of all of those people who surround us every single day of our ordinary life. And that means we failed to embrace that dangerously beautiful person, that you always hoped to look at in the mirror each morning...the real authentic you!!! So step right up and...."GO FOR IT!!!"
"It is never too late to become the authentic you..."
