Episode 37: That Moment

Most mornings I swim in the ocean. Here, the winter water is warm enough for hardy locals or those who grew up in cooler climes. Even so, there’s always a moment of hesitation before I immerse myself fully, before my head plunges into the refreshing water. It’s always worth it for me; but each morning the same slight resistance permeates me. Every morning, there’s a moment when I commit to full immersion, despite my wavering.

It's that moment
When you decide
You decide
To go for it

That split second
When you say yes
And you commit

You decide
To dive under the wave
Immersing yourself
Momentarily in discomfort
Before re-emerging
On the other side
Refreshed

It's that moment in time
When you decide
To send that email
Register for that event
Say no to something misaligned

That moment 
When you decide
That life is for living
Life is for living big
Not holding back
Or keeping yourself small

That moment
When you decide
To leap
You decide
To do what you've always wanted to
To be courageous
To step into the unknown
To shine your brightest light
To step into your own shoes
To curate your best life

You decide 
In this moment
Right now
To dive under the wave
This one right now
