Who are you waiting for?

Stop the finger pointing.  Stop the passive, self-pity.  Stop the empty wishing.  Stop complaining about your job.  Stop daydreaming.  Stop whining about your relationships.  Stop blaming others for your circumstances.

Change takes work.  Being a better person takes work.  Changing your outlook on life takes work.  So, when I ask who you're waiting for, the answer is: "Me."

YOU have to change your mindset.  YOU have to take action.  YOU have to turn a daydream into reality.  YOU have to step out in faith to try something new.  YOU have to devote yourself to a deeper prayer life.  YOU have to make a conscious choice to stop being negative.  YOU have to seek out inspiration.  YOU have to take responsibility for your mistakes.  YOU have to lead conversations away from gossip.  YOU have to seek out new friendships even if it's hard.  YOU have to look for a new job.

God opens doors, but the door frame doesn't miraculously pass over us.  We have to find the door and then have the courage, desire and energy to walk through it.

Change takes action.  So if you want things to change, stop waiting on "me" and get moving.
