Nobody is coming to live your life for you.

For years many of us wait. For permission, for the right moment, for someone to notice and hand us the life we want.

But nobody is coming to live it for you. Not your parents, not your partner, not the perfect opportunity. The bike is leaning on the fence, and the road is right there.

That sounds lonely at first. It's actually freeing. It means the next step is yours — small, clumsy, but yours. You don't need to know the whole route. You just need to get on and pedal to the next bend.
