You know that moment?
The one just a breath after something devastating has happened that you wish you could go back to?
That first second or two after you've hurt yourself badly or said something regrettable or made a huge mistake...and you just want so terribly for the chance to do it all over?
In your head you are trying to force the clock backwards - to WILL another opportunity to appear so that THIS TIME...
This time you'll do better.
The weight of that moment right now is palpable.
Many of us have been carrying it for weeks or even months in varying degrees.
Now?
It rolls towards all of us like a freight train. We can see it. The headlight is blinding, the vibration of the tracks under the sheer mass almost knocks us off our feet. The horn is blaring so loud that no hands or ear plugs can lessen the blast.
And we have the chance to move. To act now. To be bold.
Not everyone will.
But we can each make the choice.
Do we want to look back on this time and have regret? Do we want to hear the news and the latest statistics and feel that freight train roll right onto our backs?
Or do we want to know with every ounce of our souls, that our actions were unquestionable? That we did our best? Our actual best and not just the kind that helps us sleep a little better at night.
Make the choice.
