I was chatting on the phone a few hours ago with an old friend of mine from college who I hadn’t talked to in over almost two years.

“Did I catch you at work in your cubicle?” I asked, and she said, “Yes I’m at work but it’s not a cubicle, it’s a big 240,000 square feet furniture warehouse.” I then said, “Sounds like the cubicles are getting bigger and bigger these days. It’s always tough for me to see a beautiful butterfly grounded.” “Wow! That was good and I soooo needed to hear that.” she said.

We shared a small chuckle of laughter together then casually conversated to catch-up on each others current status and future goals. “I know there’s something better for me in-store and I feel like I have to get out of my comfort zone and re-engage in life the way I know I can again.” she said. I agreed.

We then took some beginner steps toward plotting an exit strategy for her to transition out of her job and back into the path of her dream and I could hear her dream of something big come alive in her over the phone. Beautiful both outside and in my friend Melinda has accomplished some huge feats in many areas of her life up to this point, but I have absolutely no doubt that her best chapter is still “to be continued…” So stay tuned for the fireworks.

So, what’s your story? Are you still in the path of accomplishing a worthwhile goal or dream of yours or are you hiding out in a cubicle continuing to convince yourself that it’s okay to just be okay? Are you a grounded butterfly that’s in serious need of another chance to fly at your highest and best potential?

Well, here’s your wake-up call from a simple facebook post. It’s never too late to start on a positive path to Making it GREAT, whatever “it” is for you. So don’t wait, start planning your exit strategy to escape that lackluster “job” and get into your “dream”.

After all, we only get one time through this “life” thing and we definitely don’t want to spend it in an area that’s outside of our passion just to pay the bills. Take some steps to turn your true area of passion into your area of profit to fuel your journey to making it GREAT and you’ll find that the taste of life is Oh-so much sweeter.

Fly butterfly, FLY! And let’s Make it GREAT!
