‘Not knowing how to do something doesn’t need to slow you down; let it speed you up.’– Bob Goff

If you are waiting for the right time to act, stop waiting for the right time. Because you are just wasting your time. It will never come to you.

The best time to act is right now. The second best time to take action is right now, where you are, and with what you have.

Trust yourself and go for what you want. Trust your inner courage and go for what you want. Believe in yourself and go for what you want. Listen to your heart and go for what is right in front of you.

Whether you know what you are doing or not, go for it. Because the more you do it, the better. According to Bob Goff, ‘Not knowing how to do something doesn’t need to slow you down; let it speed you up.’

We don’t grow by avoiding what is in front of us. We don’t grow by doing less, but by doing more.

We don’t grow by delaying our dreams, but by facing our dreams. We don’t grow by living less, but by living more. We don’t grow by avoiding difficult issues, but by dealing with them.

Whether you know where you are going or not, it is better to start now than to wait. Because tomorrow will come, but with different issues waiting for you to deal with.

Whether you can see where you are going or not, just remember that what you are going after is also going after you.

To say it another way: Your dream is also looking for you. If you do not believe it, then why are you chasing it? You are after it because you know it is out there waiting for you.

So if you are serious about your dreams, now is the right time to jump. Do not worry about what is ahead of you.

If you are scared, go for it. If you are not sure of yourself, trust your inner voice. If you don’t believe in your dream, listen to your inner power-your heart.

If you don’t know what to do next, go back to yourself. Then ask yourself, ‘Why am I doing this? Is this really what God wants me to do?

If your answers are yeses, then you must go back and start again. You can do it. When you are in doubt, remember,

You are more, not less!
