Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
— Napoleon Hill
In life, there isn’t anything like the right time except pulling out if you don’t want to get her pregnant. Yes, just like that— you cannot say what’s the right time for anything unless you jump in and face it. What seems to be more suitable later, if started now, the universe will adapt to your journey.
But you need a solid willingness to reach your destination, otherwise, that right time won’t ever come.
Sticking with the idea of perfection might not take you where all those vibrant threads of our dreamed life are tied together. It’s better to start with whatever dice you have in your hand, the puzzle will be sorted out on its way. But make sure you are working towards a single goal, not lots of them. This makes the journey smoother, and once you attain it, or even close, the juiciness of success will guide you further. Everything will fall perfectly in line if you start right now without waiting for the perfect time. Cause everything failed connects to the single idea of not starting long ago enough.
Succeeding in life is more like working on experiences as a human, get some if you don’t have them already. Heading towards the uncertainty of life requires bravery, but the enthralling experience is only gained by those who challenge it, work with resilience and unshaken determination.
Failure is natural.
You may fall, that’s part of the journey but coming back empty-handed isn’t an option for those who have strategic mindsets. And it requires clear articulation of what you are up to, how you are going to embrace it, and the level of your contribution there— having a tangible goal in short. Your objectified self comes in handy here, outer force my push, but to rock and roll, the clarity of your mind comes first.
Motivation helps.
And to stay motivated, it’s better to ignore negative souls. Or turn yourself into a black hole— suck it all, then filter out what’s necessary. Celebrate every subtle achievement, this motivates you to push further. Also, celebration sets out the roadmap to success, keeps negative spirits away. Helps you stay organised and committed to destinations.
Leading a regular life is also necessary.
While a part of you works towards greater achievement, grinding with your regular life isn’t an option; rather, it’s mandatory. Allocate the time appropriately, get habituated to that lifestyle and lay low while you adapt. It takes time. That being said, focus on consistency. It’s important.
Reflect.
It’s important too. Identify the setbacks, learn from them. Improvise, and repeat until the end result comes out better. Be opportunistic, and seize whatever you come across. But be accountable, humble, and approachable. Make yourself open to suggestions, and adjust your pathways if necessary. Often overlooked, the journey towards achieving something holds equal importance as the goals. While a part of you will always seek shortcuts to jump to that destination, let not that fool you— but, go straight, that’s the shortest way to reach somewhere.
