Tipping Point Note: What Are You Waiting For?

"The Waiting Place...for people just waiting."

"Waiting for a train to go

Or a bus to come, or a plane to go

Or the mail to come, or the rain to go

Or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow

Or waiting around for a Yes or No

Or waiting for their hair to grow.

Everyone is just waiting."

"Waiting for the fish to bite

Or waiting for wind to fly a kite

Or waiting around for a Friday night

Or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake

Or a pot to boil, or a Better Break

Or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants

Or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.

Everyone is just waiting."

~ Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go!,

What are you waiting for?

Which one action would give you the next step?

What assumptions are you making?

What are the excuses that swirl in your mind?

Who will / must / do you expect to give you permission to move forward?

Do you really need permission?

How long have you been waiting?

Do you catch yourself saying, "I have to do X first...then I can start...

Are you trying to move away from something..................or move toward something new?

 

Waiting...waiting...

It's Tipping Point Time

 

 

(BTW... if you're waiting for someone to say, "Tipping Point" hits a nerve...
