No one becomes successful by waiting for success but by taking the necessary and required steps. In fact, there is a point that you will wait and you will become obsolete. I once heard someone say that "time will change everything." As this may be true, you may not like the change that will come, so it is better you take the steps that will create the kind of change that you want. No matter how long you have remained docile or just professing success with your mouth, it will not correlate into results until you have done something to bring about success.

While growing up, there was this boy within our neighbourhood that was nicknamed "The Law," because of the way he talked and can even argue about everything, yet you cannot win him in arguments because he will always come with undeniable facts. Everyone concluded that he will become a Barrister and people even started calling him "my lord," to show that they have promoted him from a Barrister to a Judge. However, the boy finished from secondary school and lost interest in furthering his academics. He was hoping to be a lawyer, yet he did not go to law school. The name just ended up being vain because he kept waiting and never took steps.
No matter the size of dream you have, if you keep waiting for it to fulfil itself, you will wait in futility. It is when you have taken a decision to make the move that your breakthrough will come. You will agree with me that no soldier wins a battle without being in the battle. Whatever you are waiting to achieve is also waiting for you to take a step first. Imagine someone wishing to have a particular kind of job that he has been dreaming of. In fact, he has been so submerged in the thoughts that it has become his dominant thought, but he has not submitted any CV nor applied for the job, how will he be employed? Will the job come to his house to find him? The process will first begin with him applying for his dream job.
One of the major undoings of very many people is that they keep thinking, waiting, and wishing without taking any step. If you want good things to happen to you by chance without you doing anything, then you may wait for long. It is true that luck can happen, and chances do take place, but all these will be better if they meet you in the course of taking steps. The time you delay to take a step towards your dreams will take you further away from fulfilling it. But when you take timely action, then you have already gained an edge. The truth is that time will keep going and will not stop for you even if you decide to keep waiting. So whatever you want to do and any step you want to take should be done on time.

It is worthy to note that it is never too late to make the move and take the step. You may not have taken the step yesterday, but it should not stop you from taking it today; which is the second-best time to have taken the step. However, when taking steps, you need to understand that you should do so with knowledge, understanding, and precision, so that the step will be worthwhile. This is just like the advice we are normally given in the crypto world to do research before investing. In the same way, your steps should be backed by knowledge.
You may not see the entire steps or the full journey before you take the first step, what is required is the knowledge of the destination. When you take the step, many other steps will be unfolded in due course. When you take a step, then you have a chance of hitting success at it, but when you do not take the step, then you have already failed at it. You have to know that nothing will change until the change is initiated by actions. If you keep waiting for changes, changes may come but it may not be the kind you want.
