Don’t Wait, Act Now
Are you waiting for the perfect time to launch your grand plan?
We don’t like to wait in line, but we’re more than content to wait for some other things. Diets are commonly started on a Monday, or the first of the month, or the first of the year. It’s rare that someone chooses to start a diet right this very minute.
The same mindset applies to starting a business, going back to school, learning to play guitar, writing a book, or having a difficult conversation. We believe that challenging objectives require optimal conditions.
But all that’s really required is the courage to get started. Waiting is often an excuse when we feel fearful or uncertain.
The Idea That Perfect Conditions Are Necessary Is Flawed:
1. Life is much too short. Eventually, we all run out of time. No one can wait forever. That doesn’t mean to be impulsive and throw all caution to the wind. It does mean, however, that it would benefit you to act soon.
2. Life will always get in the way. Waiting for the right moment is like saving the money you have left over at the end of the month. You’ll never have any time to spare, just as you’ll never have any money left over.
• Make time for the important things you want to do or accomplish. The longer you wait, the harder it can be to get started.
3. Waiting is passive. Each day is filled with unique moments. It’s not necessary to wait until the perfect storm of opportunity, convenience, and motivation finally occurs. You can create special moments whenever you choose. Plenty of good moments are happening each day, but you’re failing to make the most of them.
Some people choose to be passive because they lack the confidence needed to push forward. If this is the situation you are currently in, you should give meditation a try. We are currently offering a great confidence building meditation as a free gift. Click below to get yours.
