Are you living in the waiting room?

Are you living in the waiting room?

Are you waiting for something before you can do the next thing?

Are you waiting for permission?

Maybe you don’t know what you’re waiting for?

But you’ll know you’re living in the waiting room because….

Being in the waiting room is painful.

It feels like living half a life.

Like having one foot in and one foot out.

You know that life is on the other side of the door - it’s beautifully colourful and scary.

You can hear the party going on, the singing, you badly want to join in.

It’s lonely here. 

And the longer you stay in the waiting room the harder it is to leave.

To leave and step both feet into life.

Cos that’s what we’re here for right? To LIVE life?

So what’s stopping you?

What’s stopping you is believing that you’re alone in the waiting room.

Let me tell you. The waiting room is busy! You are not alone.

Many of us hang out in the waiting room, sometimes for months, years decades at a time.

And there’s nothing wrong with stepping out of life for a little while, to retreat from life, to take time out, to sit and pause, catch our breathe before returning to life. I call that the chill out room. It’s necessary and healthy to hang out in the chill out room.

But the waiting room is soulless, it’s numb, it lacks vibrancy. It’s not where we are meant to live.

And the world, more than ever, needs us alive, vibrant and living in our true nature, so that we are awake, present and paying attention.

We need to step out of the waiting room and into life.

We need more of you and your aliveness.

Your partner, your friends, your kids,– they need you. In your full vibrancy!

How do you feel reading this? Do you recognise yourself?

Remember you are not alone.

Yes life is beautiful and scary, and we are not meant to do it alone.

I decided to leave the waiting room to join in the party, and it’s still scary sometimes. That’s why I gently invite people out of the waiting room and walk alongside them so they know they are not alone.
