"I am actually waiting for the right." time.
"Probably in a few months from now."
" I really wish I can do it, but.."
I come across a lot of people making this excuses all most everyday, and these are people that have big dreams of either stopping their job, starting the personal business or becoming a boss of their own.
It gets me really agitated to listen to them, None of what they say are being carried out. Although the cause for making those excuse is mostly driven by fear. And then the what if's crawl in.
What if no one visits much less read my article? What if no one buys my book? Or what if no one listens to my music?
All these excuses like I said earlier are stirred up by fear. The fear to fail makes you to postpone it until later. Then you feel relaxed already, making exclusive plans just to abandon them till infinity.
You need to know, majority of these people are not in any way ready to be unplugged. And most of them are so accustomed to the system, that they will stand by it at all cost.
Many people are so relaxed at where they are presently. There's is much comfort in it that they happy.
I listened to a professional talk about how to dive into the unknown.
Listen to his story...
Many years ago, Jim quit his job as a digital itinerant. And decided to take a trip to Prague, then travel around the world for a couple of months on a retreat program he termed as Regulated Year"
So he owns a digital itinerant program in Berlin called BiFly Itinerant.
According to him his job as a digital itinerant was very fulfilling, but while in his home one day he was lost in his thoughts on how everything seemed perfect, but he wasn't still happy.
It was then he realized, he is only working in other to live. It was a cycle that was never going to end, the type that won't give him the chance to do what he loved doing.
Now, Jim wasn't the only one trapped in these feelings, Many people in the world are not happy with the job they have.
He wasn't only frustrated at work, but found himself in a very small company while making the decision to quit working.
As we discussed, he talked on some vital key points to ponder on if anyone wants to eventually take a similar decision.
It Solely Depends On You To Make It Happen.
Yes it's your duty. You can grumble and keep complaining about everything, and everyone has one thing or the other, but the truth still remains that the time is never right, you have to create the perfect time.
When things get down, you will have to make a decision, Life and chance rarely gives a perfect time. It is your duty to make that happen.
He said, left for me,i have so many ways of pushing both my boundaries and limits. When i ventured into the itinerant journey, it wasn't easy for me in terms of finances, but he went ahead despite the stumbling block, many people would have come up with trying to save up some money within a certain period of time.
It is always good to grab responsibility by its horns says Jim. Explore ways to bring things to reality, that is, to make things happen for yourself. If not, nobody will.
Decide. Avoid Taking Too Much Information.
Avoid taking in too much information. Make a decision. There's this friend of mine that is so damn smart, he reads business articles and books a lot, the amazing thing is that he stops at reading and never utilize the knowledge gotten afterwards.
It's shows a great sign of progress when we read but that can't be compared to taking action, because the progress we make while taking action to make our dreams come true, is far greater then reading alone.
Even though you stock you head with a whole lot of information online, the fact still remains that you need to take action, make a move, get something done. Don't just feel when you are done reading and taking several courses then boom! You are qualified. Qualifications just happens.
When you take action on a daily basis you will see things happen so fast than you can imagine. In as much as you read vigorously, the only way to move from level A to B is when you take action for you dreams to be a reality.
Stop Playing The Victim Game.
Being a student in the University is quite expensive, I also passed through that hard time off having to pay my fees. I come across many people who allow that shackle to weigh them down. They always find a way to bring that up on every of their conversation whenever they talk about their dreams.
Jim was in the very same predicament of not being able to pay his school debt, because he was from a middle class family, there was really nothing to distinguish him from others, he had a dream of becoming the first graduate in his family, despite their financial state he still took action to letting his dream be a reality.
What differentiates us from living a great lifestyle to others is because we dare to take action.
If Jim could have taken action and made his dream come alive by going on the epic adventure around the world, then you can also. Stop playing the victim game.
What's Really Stopping You?
Before you leave, kindly answer this question: What's Stopping You? Be sincere.
On The 10th of April last year I thought of traveling around the world. While I do my work on my laptop thereby achieving two things at the same time. To me the thought alone was exciting. As I thought about it regularly the more I realized nothing was stopping me, despite the student loans, even with the illness, and little or nothing in my bank account, I just know it will be possible. Yes it was.
Thanks for reading. You are highly appreciated.
