Stop waiting. Stop waiting to know everything before you start something. Stop waiting for the perfect time to launch your life, to launch your business, to meet a new friend, to visit a new place.

The right time to do something worthwhile is always now. Yes, now.

Don’t wait. Face it. So whatever you want to do, you can do it. Work hard to get it done. Believe in yourself that you can make it happen. And do not wait for too much knowledge.

In his book How to Get to Great Ideas: A system for Smart, Extraordinary thinking, Dave Birss writes, ‘Education conditions us to believe we need to have all the knowledge before we can do something with it.’

No, you don’t. If you want to do something, start with what you already know, then learn more as you go. How about that?

To Be Effective In The World, You Have To …

According to John Addison, "To be effective in the world, 
you have to carry within a core of untroubled calm, 
a sense of inner peace that is content in who you are,
with all your best intentions and all your imperfections. 
When you maintain that peaceful core within you, 
you can weather whatever storms are happening on the outside."

We all need peace in our lives. When we have peace within, 
then we can really, truly function on the outside.
Without peace, there can be no growth.
You can't think. You can't plan. You can't do.
And when you can't live a normal life, 
it is impossible to go for an extraordinary life.

To carry peace within you, you must pay attention to your thoughts.
Do peaceful things. Do small thing in a peaceful way.
Hang out with peaceful people. Read peaceful things.
And make sure that your mind is filled with peaceful thoughts.
Why? Because peaceful things come from peaceful thoughts.
