You want to start something new but you always find a reason not to do it!
Does this line speak to you? It might be the time to change some of your own behavior.
I am too tired, I always have tomorrow, I am too busy, I can't do this, I am too short, I am too big, I don't have the time, I am not ready, I am too scared....... Excuses nothing but excuses.
Honestly, you will always be able to find a reason to NOT start something and some might even sound good or right to you BUT.... Is waiting really the best option when you want to start something new, make a change, burn some bridges? Why do you feel the need to tell yourself that you can't do it? Why do you feel the need to bring yourself down?
The longer you'll wait the more excuses you will find. Next week, next month, next year. What makes you feel that way? Why do you believe time will have any effect on what you want to do? Next year you will still not start if you do not start RIGHT NOW!
Timing....
But the timing is not right, I am not ready yet, I can't do this right now... YOU CAN!
Would you rather wait for the perfect time to come by? Do you really think that if you wait long enough the right time will walk into your living room and sit down at your couch and wave saying "Hi, I am the perfect timing?" That will never happen. You know when you see the right time, the perfect moment? When it's already passed. That is when our mind tells us, "Wow, that would have been a perfect moment to..." Too late... The people who make it are the people who dare to jump.
The past!
Do we not all look back at these and think, FUCK, I wish I had done that, or did that different. I wish I had taken the risk. I wish I had...... I wish...
It's not the things you did that make you feel bad but the things you did not do!
Do you really want to look back at your life and feel despair and regret for all those amazing things you could have done?
But what if I fail?
Is failing really something bad or can you look at it like a lesson learned? I would rather fail miserably and end up broke than not trying to achieve my dreams. Are you scared to fail because of what others think about you? I do believe that when someone sees you try as hard as you can they will always support you. Yes, we all fail sometimes, we fall and hit our head many times in lives. You should not live with fear to fail. Failing hurts, I will be the last person to tell you that it does not pains your soul when you try and it does not work out. It does hurt like hell but in time when you look back you will feel pride instead of pain, after all, you tried and now you know. You have give your best and you now have that experience and you should cherish that.
Conclusion!
If you have a dream, a wish or just a simple plan to start something new like a diet, a new job, a new hobby, going back to school, moving houses, stop pushing it of with your own excuses! Start now, there is no need to wait! Why waste another day if you can start today? You are not born to be second or third, you are born to shine. You first try might not be perfect, it might even fail but that is okay. When you work for what you really want you already have won. You started and that is the first step to your own success. Every time you might fail you will not give up because you are bringing the best out of yourself, you improve! You keep going and you are no longer waiting for the perfect moment!
YOU ARE CREATING THE PERFECT MOMENT YOURSELF!
