Stop Waiting for Mondays.

I think we have a tendency to pick times that others have determined to be the beginning of a journey, a beginning of a new chapter.
So every next week is the week that you start that thing.

We all have that thing, that one thing that you want to start, that you know as you’re reading this is at the top of your mind that you should start. It could be your fitness goals, it could be your business goals, it could be your career goals, it could be your even rest goals like me. Don’t wait for Mondays, don’t wait for the perfect moment, just start.

I say this because my manager recently called me out for not taking time off this year, and I thought to myself, why haven’t I?
Most of the time it’s because, “oh I want to go to a new country, or I want to go at a particular time where work is not crazy busy, or I want to go when I can see some of my friends”. And then I find that it never actually happens, because I spent so much time waiting for the perfect that I actually never get the chance to perfect.
So short word today, stop waiting for Mondays.

Embrace the New

Also, something I think is important is learning to allow yourself to embrace the new. And I’ll give you an example of what that means. I recently bought a new car, for those of you that are reading this on my blog, just act surprised when you see it on my reels or TikToks.

Sidebar: Please, as much as you can, write down the things that you want.
The things that you want God to do for you, the things that you want him to provide for you, write them down. They may not happen overnight, they may not happen for a while, but they will happen.

He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him, and he’s a repeater of miracles. So there’s nothing that you want God to do that he hasn’t done before. So write it down, pray on it, meditate on it, treasure it, protect it with your heart.

Don’t necessarily share it with everyone or people that are outside your circle, but it will come to pass, it will happen.
Since I bought this car, this car comes with a rear view parking assistant and a parking assistant button, where you press the button and it helps you park the car.

But, I found that I’m always still looking over my shoulder when I’m reversing this car to park it, and I got thinking to myself, what is it about the car that makes it so hard for me to trust the new?
This car is so many times better than my old car.
Every time I’ve parked and used the rear view camera on my very big dashboard, the car has parked itself perfectly.
So why do I continue to doubt and try to use my own naked eye to park the car? And it got me thinking, we’re so accustomed to not appreciating the new.

We are so comfortable in the old, which, don’t get me wrong, it protects you, familiarity protects you, it helps guide your intuition because when you’re familiar with something, when an unfamiliar happens, your alarms go off. But what happens when that hinders you from being able to enjoy the new? Every time this car is parked, there’s so much space on both sides, it is perfectly aligned. If I follow the mirror or the camera, it parks perfectly in the center.

Yet, I find that as I’m still adjusting to it, my eyes, my own human knowledge wants to influence. So, today, my word for you is appreciate the new. Whether it’s that new person that God has sent into your life to help you, to uplift you, whether it’s that new opportunity, whether it’s that new thing that you are trying to do, allow yourself to experience and enjoy the new.

You’ll be better for it, much better for it.
till we speak again,

stay up.
