Are you going to just sit there even though you know it’s your turn?
Usually when we say, it’s your turn,” we mean that it’s your turn to be picked, to be the next one, the person who fits in more than any other. The next pop star on the cover of Seventeen, (Huffington Post, Forbes, Fast Company, or Vogue), the next news anchor, the next plant manager. Or the next customer at the deli. This is the model in which you wait for change to happen to you.”
“Another model of “your turn,” is the model of the person who makes change. We seek the change that is interesting, the change for the better, and most of all, the change that connects us to someone else. This is the freedom to make change, and the willingness to seek out the tension it brings.
From It’s Your Turn, by Seth Godin
I am in hard core preparation now for the Dream Yourself Awake Retreat. This quote in large part is the reason the retreat will take place: Because I quit waiting for change to happen to me.

I wish I could go, Patricia. It’s not in the cards for me right now but I want to make it my turn! I love your way of thinking and doing.
Good luck on the retreat. I hope you write more about this in the months to come.
Good for you and best to you always. Cathy
