When is the best time to do it?
Do what?
Whatever it is that is super important to you. Usually it involves love. Maybe doing something you love and making money at it. Mending the fences with a family or number of family members you love.
Yes, love. It always involves love.
One of the most powerful words ever invented.
So, let’s focus on it.
Right now.
Not a marital agreed upon business arrangement or where you prefer being married as opposed to being single.
Or, heaven forbid, settling. In a loveless marriage of convenience. Often for financial gain. Security. Societal respect. But not love.
Not that at all.
It is the epitome of what you want. The top of the love food chain.
Where you can’t wait to wake up each day. Where you think about it all of the time.
Again the question. When is the best time to do it?
When you are young. Not later.
There is no later.
Do it when you are good looking, in great shape, have dynamic energy and the other person you love is young as well.
This was really driven home to us in the exceptional emotionally penetrating film, Nomadland.
Nomadland is a 2020 American drama film written, produced, edited and directed by Chloé Zhao.
Based on the 2017 nonfiction book Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica Bruder, it stars Frances McDormand as a widow who leaves to travel around the United States in her van as a nomad.
David Strathairn also stars in a supporting role. A number of real-life nomads appear as fictionalized versions of themselves, including Linda May, Swankie and Bob Wells.
The film was a box office success, grossing $39 million worldwide against its $5 million budget and received widespread critical acclaim for its direction, editing, screenplay and cinematography, as well as the performances of McDormand and Strathairn.
It was the third-highest rated film of 2020 on Metacritic, which found it to be the most frequently ranked by critics and publications as one of the best films of the year.
At the 93rd Academy Awards, it won Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress for McDormand, from a total of six nominations.
Here is the storyline.
In 2011, Fern loses her job after the US Gypsum plant in Empire, Nevada shuts down; she worked there for years along with her husband, who recently died.
Fern sells most of her belongings and purchases a van to live in and travel the country searching for work. She takes a seasonal job at an Amazon fulfillment center through the winter.
Linda, a friend and co-worker, invites Fern to visit a desert rendezvous in Arizona organized by Bob Wells, which provides a support system and community for fellow nomads.
Yes, Nomads.
Mostly older. Somewhat desperate.
Near the end of the trail. Not much road left. In our opinion? For most of them?
Something went terribly wrong.
Why are they out there?
Many reasons. Mostly not good.
A factory they had been working at for over 20 years closed down with no real jobs in sight.
A spouse has prematurely died, creating a severe economic hardship.
Then, they lost the house.
Whatever the reason, when many of them have to poop in a bucket, something is truly wrong.
Does everyone have to spend their old age in a house?
Hopefully paid off.
Most of us want to.
Especially if we want the kids to come back home. With the grand kids. For a visit. Or, to stay as long as they desire. We love the family company. We have the room. Plenty of it.
If we have a house.
Hard for the kids to visit you out in the middle of the desert. Living in a van.
What the moving film impressed upon us the most was, how in your sixties or seventies, in that situation, there are virtually no second chances.
To own a home. Live in a great neighborhood where successful people wave at you.
To meet and fall in love with the love of your life.
All of those things should have happened earlier.
When you were young.
One of the largest lessons this film taught us, despite conventional philosophy that life will always give you second chances is, mostly that is true.
Where you are young.
Not as a senior citizen living out in the desert.
Are you young now? What is it that you really want to do and who with?
Think about it. Long and hard.
Then do something about it. Now. Not later.
There is no later.
In terms of living the life you want, we have the thoughts from a visiting writer.
Our suggestion?
Don’t wait until later. Later never comes.
There’s No Scarcity of Opportunity to Make a Living at What You Love
Here’s a quote by Dr. Wayne Dyer that I believe has the power to change lives if taken to heart: “There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there’s only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.”
Would you agree? And, would you take it to heart and resolve to go after whatever it is that you love and persevere until you are successful? And do you know how? What I believe Dr. Dyer is saying here is that every one of us has plenty of opportunity presented to us if we resolve to go forward no matter what and if we are able to recognize opportunity when it presents itself.
Opportunities are presented to us to help us learn, grow, expand our thinking, and ultimately to achieve our goals, to fulfill our dreams, and to live out our passions. But, many of us are simply not able to recognize opportunity when it presents itself because we just plain are not aware of how to recognize it or how it takes place to begin with.
What is it we are missing or not recognizing that causes us to not know opportunity when we see it or not have the personal power to pursue what we want? We are not recognizing the power we hold within ourselves to rise up, have complete faith, persevere, and know that we are capable of creating anything our heart desires.
One of my main purposes in coaching people is to help them become aware of how they can empower themselves by shifting their thinking and changing their perspective–to recognize their power within. When we do this, we are empowered to recognize the opportunities that are presented to us, grasp those opportunities, and put them to work in creating extraordinary lives.
Part of what most of us need more than anything else to become empowered in this capacity is an understanding of our inner spirit, the strength provided by unwavering faith, and the inherent potential we hold to be, do, or have anything we choose to be, do, or have. This is our power within! But, it is up to us to rise above anything that we believe might stand in our way. It is up to us to recognize that faith in ourselves and in our higher spirit or God or whatever you choose to call this higher spirit is at our disposal and will carry us through anything that might stand in our way.
“Faith is the belief that you have the power to do all things. It is a magnetic power that attracts the answer to your prayer.” From the book “God Works Through Faith” by Robert A. Russell
Here’s another quote from Dr. Dyer that may help put this into perspective for you:
“Everything in the Universe has a purpose. Indeed, the invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you.”
These are powerful statements, but if you adopt this mentality, learn about your inner spirit, and become aware, you will soon be empowered and on your way to resolving that you can create anything-anything-you want. THIS is your power within!
