Why wait? Just JUMP!

Over the summer, a lady told me "why wait to do something if you can do it now?" She stated that she never learned how to swim, but as an adult, she began taking swim classes in order to learn. She challenged me to stop waiting on whatever I was waiting on and just get out there and do what I want. Well, this semester I did just that.

I finally created my dream board earlier this semester and it includes both long and short term goals. At some point this summer I remember saying "man, I've never been on the deans list at NC State. I've come very close, but almost doesn't count". Then I realized I had 2 more semesters left and challenged myself to make it happen. I put it on my dream board and the rest is history.

I'm writing this to encourage anyone who has something they really would like to do, but for whatever reason they haven't done it yet. Why wait? Do it now! Even if you're not where you'd like to be mentally or financially, there is still a way for you to make things happen!

I leave you with this story from a church sermon not too long ago:
There was this little boy who was in a house that was on fire. His dad was outside and he kept telling his son to jump, he will catch him. Well the little boy was afraid of course and did not want to jump out of the burning house. His dad continued to yell "Jump, I'll catch you!" Finally, the little boy jumped out of the window and into his dads arms. As a result, he was able to survive.

Well, isn't this the same thing that God tells us? As Christians, we all have faith even when we don't know the outcome. We walk into situations blind, but we trust that God will bring us through.  Always remember, faith without works is dead! (James 2:26) Simply putting something on a dream board isn't going to ensure you will receive it. You have to put in work to get there!

So why wait? JUST JUMP! 

Be Blessed! Dream Big! Live Live!
