“You’ll never find time for anything. You just make it.”-Charles Buxton

Have you ever felt as though you are not living up to your full potential? Like there are so many things that you are capable of doing, but have been unable to accomplish for one reason or another? Have you ever felt as though you don’t have meaningful relationships? Or that you’ve been watering yourself down? Me too. 

There aren’t many things that are more disheartening than operating below your potential. Doing this oftentimes leads to settling. Settling for a job that we don’t want. Or a partner that we would be better off without. In operating below our potential, we essentially settle for a life that isn’t truly meant to be ours. The great news is that it’s never too late to do what you could have done. The thing is, it can’t be put off until tomorrow. The time is now. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Start now, and it can be fixed later. 

Whether it’s starting that side hustle, or simply cracking open that novel that you’ve been meaning to read. The time is now. That thing that you’ve been putting off may just be the spark that lights your fire within.  In the words of the astute philosopher, Beyonce Gisele Knowles-Carter… “Shine already. It’s time already.” Don’t be the reason why you are not living the life that you want and deserve. Sometimes it’s tough figuring out where to start. The truth is, there really isn’t a “right” way to begin your journey. But you have to do something…anything. I’m starting now and documenting the process along the way.

Dr. Knowles-Carter would be very proud.
