Are You Living a Buried Life?

If your someday life is buried under a pile of duties, lists, and obligations; it’s time to get out the shovel. If you’ve lost touch with that unspeakable desire to follow the true purpose of your life and restore meaning to your existence, I invite you today to make the commitment to choose to designate TODAY as the someday you’ve been waiting for.

If you need to start small that’s okay. Maybe just making your list is your first step. Be bold, daring, and courageous. Imagine no limits and write down all the things you’ve been longing to do.

Once you have the list, pick something to start with. Maybe you are ready to leap out of the box with something huge like scheduling that trip abroad you’ve been saving for or test driving the luxury car that’s been on your vision board, or…

Maybe you choose something closer to your comfort zone that you KNOW you can do. Just TAKE THE STEP.

I recently signed up for guitar lessons. I’ve wanted to learn to play for at least 10 years. When my daughter was born (6 ½ years ago!) my husband bought me a guitar as a way of saying, “You can still have your dreams.”

It’s been collecting dust in the corner ever since.

So… in the spirit of resurrecting my buried life, I took my first guitar lesson 2 weeks ago. It was AWESOME! I felt so excited and ALIVE when I left there. The possibilities seem endless. I can already imagine playing around the campfire with my family this summer.

Am I good at it yet? Heck, no! Was I scared and off balance and self conscious as I sat there wondering what I had gotten myself into? Absolutely! But that, my friend, is living… it’s what this life experience is all about.

I promise to post a video of me playing the guitar as soon as I learn my first song. It’s my way of inspiring you to take a risk and choose to enjoy your life everyday.

What will you commit to pursuing first on your Buried Life list? It’s time to dust it off and get going!

Carpe Diem!
