The perfect moment

I don’t have time.

I don’t have the resources.

We paralyze ourselves. With excuses. Lots of them. But mostly, it’s fear.

Whether it’s finishing a project or starting something new, our fears manifest in all sorts of forms and reasons why we shouldn’t, can’t, are unable to.

The right moment may never happen. Stop waiting for it to come around and look to create it for yourself. Learn to deal with “good enough.”

While you’re making excuses, others are figuring out how to make it work.

Invest in yourself

Success and anything worth doing comes with sacrifice.

Money, time, pride, effort, energy, friends, family, hobbies, confidence, reputation — these are just some of the things that end up on the table when you go all in.

How are you spending them? Where are you channeling your time and attention and means?

Fear often pulls up a chair and convinces us we have limited resources. When fear starts talking, the stakes are raised and we can be faced with tough decisions.

Are you in it for the long haul or are you looking for the short-term gain?
