What are you waiting for?

We all seem to be waiting for something.  Waiting and waiting and waiting.  We are waiting for someone to tell us that it's okay to start our lives again, to take a vacation, spend money, go out with friends, quit the job we've been hanging onto so desperately, start the new career we've been wanting to start, end the relationship that isn't working or find the person we've been wanting to find.  We've all become so used to the economy being bad that we can't figure out how to get out of it.  We all know what it feels like to shrink, downsize and reduce.  The problem now is that we can't figure out how to expand, evolve and grow.  It's almost like we are waiting for permission.  Permission to live again.  Permission to start our lives.  We don't need permission.  We know intuitively that we can't go back to the way it was before and yet we don't know how to move forward.  We only need to make and take the first baby step.  Trust in the process of this new time and your new life.  We only need to realize that it's all waiting for us, if only we believe.
