Why Not Now?

I agree. ‘The time is now.’ If not now, when? When it comes to your dreams, I believe that the best time to start is now.

Now is better. Now is the right time. Do you know why you are still waiting? Do you know why you are still talking about your dreams?

Why? Do you know? What are you afraid of? Why not now? What is holding you back? Why are you not going after it? Is it fear? Is it the fear of failure? Or is it the fear of success?

Whatever it is that is holding you back, you can face it. But it is not going to happen overnight. It is going to take time to get used to.

Before you continue, ask yourself, ‘Why am I not going after what I want? Why am I holding myself back? Do I have what it takes to go after what I want? Is it the right thing for me? Am I going to do it for the right reason? Is it going to make me happy? Am I doing it for myself?’

According to Mel Robbins, ‘Every day that you allow your fear of somebody else’s opinion, stress over friendships, or concern about how someone will react to prevent you from making the phone call, filling the application, working on the business plan, starting the diet, or putting in the effort, you’re holding yourself back. You’re robbing yourself of your potential. You’re standing still while life moves on around you.’

Your dreams are still alive. They are not dead yet. They are still breathing. To keep them going, to bring them to life, you have got to take action.

Do not let anything stand in your way. You have what it takes to move forward. If you are not moving forward, other people are doing it. If you are still planning to start your journey, other people are already going. They are almost there. What are you still waiting for? Why are you not up? If you are waiting for the right time to come to you, that is not going to happen. If you want your dreams to come true, you have got to make time for them to happen. Will you?

Why You Should Put Yourself Together

‘Put yourself together, and your world falls into place.’– Gary Keller

‘Put yourself together.’ Do not give in to your fears. Do not give in to what people want you to do. If you are not responsible for your future, who is? If you are not in charge of your future, who is?

You can do whatever you want, but you can’t control everything. To succeed in your life, don’t try to control everything. Instead, try to focus on what you are doing, on what is making you happy, on what is not going to take you away from what you are doing.

Don’t disconnect yourself from who you are. No matter what you are going through in your life, if you want to get to your next level, you must put yourself together.

If nothing is working for you, all you need to do is to put yourself together.

If life is not fair to you, don’t worry about what is going on. All you need to do to get what you want in your life is to put yourself together.

If you are not where you want to go, you must put yourself together.

If you are not happy with your life, if you are just wandering through life, all you need to do is to have the courage to put yourself together. It is not easy, but you can do it.

If you are not motivated to get things done, all you need to do is to put yourself together.

When you do, ‘your world falls into place.’
