Standing In Cement?
If you’re going to drive across a bridge, it’s best if there is a solid foundation on both sides. 
The same happens when crossing a symbolic bridge to the next chapter in your life. Having a solid foundation on both sides is the goal. 
But what happens when you get stuck in your foundation before you cross? 
It’s common for folks to build such a solid foundation in their current life that it becomes difficult to move forward. 
You are stuck in your comfort zone.
If you’re happy, the bills are paid, and everything is okay - what’s the incentive to shake things up?
Well -
The only way to live the life you’ve always wanted is to believe in your WHY and take your first step as soon as you can see the other side.
Yes, it can be scary. However, staying where you are for the rest of your life is also scary.
Keep what you have and get what you want. That’s the goal.

Life With No Limitations and No Consequences
What if everything you did today came with no limitations and good consequences? 
What could you do with your life?
Limitations can be helpful. Staying within speed limits keeps you from getting tickets. That's good.
Limiting yourself to a job that doesn't serve you? That's bad. 
Fear of change usually creates limitations. Or is it the fear of bad consequences? 
What would happen if all consequences were good? 
Asking someone on a date may cause fear and hold you back. That all goes away the instant you hear, "Yes!"
Reach for the good!
Roll through your day believing that you are ten feet tall and bulletproof.  
Anything is possible!

Focus on What’s Important
Are you the kind of person who is always running around putting out fires—fires you set? 
I think it is time we took away your matches and lighter fluid.
Keep these tips in mind:
1) If your life is non-stop drama, stress, and craziness, there is a good chance that YOU are the cause. There is also a good chance you won’t see it that way.
2) Living with your hair on fire will keep you so busy you will spend years wondering why you can’t get what you want.
3) When you STOP doing anything that results in more craziness, you will find that life is pretty quiet. That’s when good stuff begins to happen.
It’s a Universal truth. 
You are 100% in charge of every action you take. Choose good ones. It makes life more fun.

Accepting Your Passion
No matter what activities that you do in life, the goal of every road you travel should lead to happiness. After all, we don’t pursue ambitions so that we can be unhappy - right?
With that in mind, your journey will be more pleasant and the outcome more predictable if you:
1) Begin by accepting WHO you are right now. It’s okay to desire change, but you begin where you are today.
2) Clearly understand WHAT you are doing when you are authentically being YOU. The core of who you are is not likely to change. More likely, you are seeking to get back to your real self.
3) Decide when you will start living your passion day-to-day. There’s no need to wait. It begins the instant you choose.
Accepting your passion and deciding to make it a day-to-day reality will make today the best day of your life.

Opportunity Discrimination
Do you have too many options and are having a difficult time choosing?
There is a concept called "Opportunity Cost.” It is simply the value gained or the value lost in deciding what opportunities you will pursue. 
I tend to focus on another question entirely -
"Does an opportunity provide the fastest and most direct path for me to reach my goals?" 
It's easy to look at almost any opportunity and justify a path, especially if you are being persuaded by someone else. It’s more difficult to make a choice.
If you want to break free from a stalled life, you must eliminate anything that takes you off course and stay focused on your goals.
