When it comes to growth, when it comes to success, when it comes to going after your dreams, waiting is not the right plan. Waiting is not a plan. If the only plan you have is waiting for the right time, you do not have a plan.

Stop waiting. Because life waits for no one. Time waits for no one. And people wait for no one. If you have something in mind that you have been talking about, that you want to do, your best plan is to go after it today, not tomorrow.

It is scary. It is not going to be perfect. People are going to laugh at you. You are going to doubt yourself. But that is okay. It is part of the game. If you do not want people to laugh at you, to laugh at what you are doing, then you are not going to do anything. You are going to stay where you are. You are not going to make any progress. And if you are not doing, you are wasting your time. If you are not trying to get better, you are fighting hard to stay the same.

Do not do that to yourself. Your life is better than that. You are better than that. No one is responsible for your life, you are. If you want it to get better, don’t listen to people who are not going to help you pay your bills.

Instead of wasting your precious time thinking about what people are saying about you, why not get to work. Start with what you have. Don’t worry about being perfect. Just go after what you want. You will get better, but not today. Because greatness takes time.

The Clock Is Ticking

Yesterday is gone. Yesterday is in the past. Tomorrow is in progress. You are making it now, right now. Today is right here, right now.

The question is, ‘What are you doing right now? What is going on in your life right now, right here? How are you feeling? Are you happy? Are you where you are supposed to be?

If you are not where you want to be, you can fix it. You can make it better. You can do something about it.

How? First, focus on what is going on in your life. If you are not happy with what you are getting, don’t ask other people. Instead, ask yourself, ‘What is it that I am not paying attention to? What is it that I am not doing that I am supposed to be doing? What am I thinking that I am NOT supposed to be thinking? What am I supposed to be thinking that I am not thinking. How am I spending my time?’

You have to look within, not without. Because you know what you want. You also know why you are not moving closer to where you want to be. Do you? I think so.

It is better to look within you than to keep blaming other people for your problems. Blaming other people is a waste of your time. It is not going to add a thing to your life. Instead, it will take your focus away from what you are doing. Because when you are blaming others, you are slowly moving away from what you are going after.

Do not do that to your life. Because your life is special. Your life is precious. That is why you should never play with it. If you play with your life, other people will play with you. People won’t take you seriously. People won’t follow you.

So if you want to move your life forward, you must make a decision. One decision, not two decisions. Because your clock is ticking. Remember, great things start with a single decision. Why not today, my friend?
