Some Days Never Come

I heard this today and it pretty much yelled at me. Think about it. Some days never come. Some people didn’t wake up today. Some people won’t wake up tomorrow. Some days just never come. Have you ever been one to say I will do that tomorrow? I will do that next week, next month or next year? What if those days don’t come for us? Eventually that time is going to come for all of us at some point. Can you say you’ve lived? Can you say you lived life or that life lived you? Think about that for a minute.

I had a very dear friend have a heart to heart with me yesterday. They asked me point blank, Shauna, what are you doing?! Really, what are you doing!? Are you settling? I had to honestly answer that most of my life has been settling because it was comfortable and it was safe and I did what everybody expected of me always.  They looked me right in the eyes and told me I was meant for so much more and I could have whatever it was that I wanted. They said it with such love and conviction that it shook me to the core of my being. Side note here, if you don’t have somebody like that in your life who loves you, and believes in you, and wants you to be everything almost more than you want it for yourself, then you need to surround yourself with different people!

Back to my original thought, the fact of the matter is that some days never come. Period. Let me ask you this, if tomorrow doesn’t come for you, can you say that you had a full life with everything you wanted?

If some days never come, would you let yourself fall in love?

If some days never come, would you take a chance on relationships when the right people are literally dropped in your life?

If some days never come, would you chase that dream, whatever it is for you?

If some days never come, would you care less about what other people think and care more about what you think?

If some days never come, would you become all you were meant to be?

If some days never come, would you take more chances and risks?

If some days never come, would you be happier and less stressed.

If some days never come, would you treat people different?

If some days never come, would you travel more? Enjoy life more? Spend more time sitting around talking to people you care about, and whose conversations mean the world to you more?

What do you want? Honestly, I know some things I want, but can’t totally put into words what I want. What I do know is that I must stop waiting for the right time or I will never get what I want. What I know is that my friend yesterday stirred something up inside of me that I think was so deeply pushed down that it has almost paralyzed me.

Are you going after what you want? Are you going after what you deserve? If not, I hope you start before your tomorrow never comes and it’s too late!

With love for you all,

Shauna
