Stop Waiting for Someone to Come to Save You Because It’s Not Going to Happen!

Sorry to break it to you, but nobody is coming to save you.  It is your job to save yourself and prevail through whatever hardship you are currently facing.  If you don’t take action now, you will become dry as a raisin waiting for someone to come and save you. It is not going to happen!

I adopted a similar mindset all through school and even in college. And how wrong that was! During those years, I mistakenly believed that doors full of opportunities would magically open up for simply by having good grade. Oh, how foolish of an idea that was!

Sadly, having good grades doesn’t automatically give you the magic key needed for opening doors. Instead, one has to go out and start knocking on them. Some doors opened, but they ended up not being the right ones. And then I found myself back to square one, waiting for a door to magically open without me even knocking. What a naive way of thinking?!

You Are the One Who Can Save Yourself

Many fail to acknowledge that you are the one responsible for saving yourself, nobody else is going to save you. No outside force can come and rescue you if you aren’t willing to give it your all, to overcome whatever is holding you back. Life is going to pass you by regardless. So, then why not take advantage of the time you have now and do something that you could be proud of. The biggest regret is lying on your deathbed and wishing you could press rewind and do the things you were too scare to do.

For instance, do you think I enjoy going to the gym daily, specially on those really cold days? Absolutely not! But I get my butt out from the warm bed and begin to get ready for the gym.  Trust me, it’s is tempting to say “screw it” and stay under the warm blanket instead of going out to face the frigid cold temperatures. You see, we are all humans! But you know what’s even worse? Realizing you haven’t made any progress due to your inability to look beyond your comfort and see the bigger picture.

How Did We Become So Fascinated with Getting Everything Instantly?

I don’t know when we became so fascinated with obtaining everything in an instant without putting in the work.  Everything worth having requires effort, preparation, and patience.  Patience to understand that even if you are not seeing the results you want, you are still moving forward. The progression might be slow, but you are doing it, rather than waiting around for someone to come and save you. 

You took the hardest step, which was deciding to get started and take life into your own hands. Now you just have to place one foot in front of the other and get moving.  Of course, you are going to fail along the way and face obstacles. But when you do, you will stand back up and continue onward. No body said it was going to be easy, so don’t expect easy! 

Eventually, you’ll obtain the life that was meant for you with perseverance and determination. You took action, and for that, you should be incredibly proud of yourself. Remember: a lifesaver is useless unless you have the courage to reach out to grab it, while trying to figure out how to use it!
