"How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?"

Epictetus

How long are you going to wait to demand the best for your physical health?

How long are you going to wait to demand the best for your emotional health?

How long are you going to wait to demand the best for your learning?

How long are you going to wait to demand the best for your financial wellbeing?

How long are you going to wait to demand the best for your job satisfaction?

How long are you going to wait to demand the best for your relationships?

How long are you going to wait? Interesting question. Many of us would say we are tired of waiting. Tired of waiting for COVID to be over. Tired of waiting for the gyms to open. Tired of waiting for the weather to get warmer so we can get outside more. Tired of waiting for things to get back to “normal”. 

If you are tired of waiting, then what are you going to do about it? Are you willing to take action? Are you willing to stop making demands of the government, your boss and other people? Are you willing to make these demands of yourself? 

Why should you make these demands of yourself? Because you are the only person you have control over. You do not control the government, the public health officials, your organization, your boss, the SARS-CoV-2 virus or any of the variations, the weather or any other outside factors. 

You do control yourself. You control your actions, what you eat, what you read, your level of activity, many of your thoughts and how you spend your discretionary time every day. As soon as you decide you have waited long enough and begin to take action, everything else begins to change. 

How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself, from yourself? You do not have to do this alone. There are people, groups, organizations and resources available to help you once you decide that you have waited long enough and are committed to take action. 

What’s Important Now? You have waited long enough. Get busy. 

Take care.
