I used to feel extremely guilty about taking a lollipop from the lollipop jar at the local car wash when I was younger.
I used to feel extremely anxious about taking control of a situation at work when the boss was taking a day off.
I used to feel like taking was bad. Now, I’m an advocate for it.
Too often we wait to be given something (responsibility, hope, time, a break) instead of taking it.
We’ve culturally grown up in a state of waiting to be given, waiting to be picked, waiting to wait instead of taking (and not feeling guilty about it).
As much as I want to say taking is easy for me now, I don’t think the comfort of taking will ever really go away.
I can say, however, that it is infinitely more rewarding, fulfilling, and fun than waiting to be given.
I still feel a bit guilty when I take a lollipop, but I do enjoy it a lot more.
