We have been living beneath our privilege. We have been waiting for the right time. We have been waiting for the world to change. We have been making excuses. There is no better time than now! Clean out the clutter. Get rid of things you don’t need. Take the class, write the book, take the trip, do the research, or whatever you need to do to accomplish your goals and complete your mission. A quote from the Gospel of Thomas says, “If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.” It is time to do and become what we were meant to do and become.
We all know that there is greatness in us and that there is more that we can do in our lives. You may say, “perhaps when I am older,” or perhaps when I was younger.” Something is holding us back. Well, it is time to release the brakes and stop holding back. Take off the emergency brake, come out from under the covers, put yourself if drive, it is time to shine.
It means that you are going to have to let some things go. It means that you are going to have to develop discipline. It means that you may have to get up earlier or stay up later. Once you are convinced that it is your time, the burden gets lighter and the work gets done. When we are disciplined for success, we make each day a time to bring forth the treasure that we have kept stored up inside. It is our time.
