You are where you are because you don’t want to get hurt. You are not moving forward because you want to be perfect before you make your move. You want to get everything right before you start your journey.

No matter how smart you are, you will never be ready. Whatever you want to do in your life, do not wait to be perfect before you take your own leap of faith.

Take it now. Where you are today is the right place to start. What you are doing right now is the right thing to start your journey with. What you are doing right now, small or big, nice or ugly, is preparing you for what you are going to do next. In other words, whatever you are doing right now, if you want to get to the next level, you have got to take it seriously.

Take it seriously. Don’t worry about making mistakes. Your mistakes are not your weakenesses. They are your learning opportunities. They are your best teachers. If you are willing to grow, you can learn a lot from them. Don’t worry about what others are saying about your mistakes. They are your mistakes, not theirs.

Focus on what you are doing. Pursue your dreams and stop worrying about what other people are saying. That is not your problem. Because you are not alive to worry about what others are doing. You are alive to be you, to do you. And if you are not doing you, you are not going to make progress in your life.

To make progress, to grow, you have got to be you. You have got to do you. You have got to be real to yourself. You have got to put your focus, your energy, on things that are important to you. You have got to know that life is going to give you your results in the future.

If you don’t want to get disappointed, you have got to focus on your life. When you catch yourself doing things that are not part of your dreams, you must return yourself to your own track. If you find yourself doing something else, ask yourself, ‘Is this what I should be doing right now?’
