Life gets better when we test our confidence by making the first move.
Deciding to make the first move is a choice that can apply to any area of our lives.
We could be the first one to speak up if a conversation starts heading in an unproductive direction.
We could be the one to start a conversation about something that needs a voice.
We could be the one who says it’s time to start eating healthier and leads by example.
We could be the one who says: The party’s over. Time to go home.
We could be the one who says: Playtime! Everyone down on the floor for a game of Twister.
We could be the one who says: Dance Party! And chooses the first song to celebrate and move.
We could be the one who decides taking a walk around the block after dinner is a healthy way to digest a meal and unwind.
We could decide it’s time to test out our talent and proudly showcase our progress knowing it may inspire others.
We could be the one who crouches down to the same level as a child, asks a question and really listens.
We could be the one who cooks a meal and drops it off at the home of someone likely overwhelmed.
We could be the one who speaks up and asks our partner for something we’d like a little more of.
We could be the one who kisses or hugs another first…and maybe even lingers in that moment.
Behind what often seems so permanent lies the real world of constant flux and possibiliites. We can decide to make the first move anytime we want in so many areas of our lives. It’s just another choice. What will you choose today?
