It is already the middle of February and with it being such a short month, the end of this cold and dreary set of 28 days, is almost a memory in a rear-view mirror.

Fear not… you still have 10 and a half months to complete your goals. How is that going so far?

Ugh, goals suck. Permanent lines in the sand suck. We are human after all and tend to fall back into familiar embraces and familiar tugs of comfort. We are not just sticks in the mud. We are permeable beings, full of pumping blood and ideas on just how things should be. In fact we have a very definite view of it.

I hear you and I agree but…

That whole evolving thing? I believe in that wholeheartedly.

We evolve. It is what we do.

And sometimes we put up brick walls thinking they will keep us safe in our comfort zone. Similarly to a safe place for our hearts and minds, a proverbial brick wall can keep us safe in our most sacred of places.

And I get that, I really do.

But I bet if you look hard enough, you will see that that brick wall you comprised, the one made of super solid foundation, tons of mortar and brick, that there is something that looks like a mirage.

It is a door. A nice beautiful wooden door.

Made out of reclaimed wood, of course 😉

You have a choice. Stay on this side of your nice brick wall and enjoy the fruits of your comfort. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. More power to you!

But what if, just what if, you decide to approach that wooden door, the one in your brick wall, the one you didn’t really notice before, until now… what if you decided to open that door and just walk through.

Just. Walk. Through.

What would happen?

That city you’ve always wanted to live in, that career you’ve always dreamed of, that country you’ve always wanted to travel to… what would happen if you went past that brick wall and started to realize your dreams? What would happen if those “flights of fancy” suddenly became reality?

The time is now, my friends.

You only get one life.

What’s it going to be?

The wooden door is beckoning.
