“If you’re waiting until you feel talented enough to make it, you’ll never make it.”- Criss Jami

“To keep life moving forward, hope for the best, take action, and be persistent.”- Debasish Mridha, MD

Happiness comes from your ability to take action. Unhappiness comes from your inability to take action. If you want to be happy, learn how to take action. If you want to be unhappy, learn how to procrastinate. You must act to make things happen for you. You know, if you don’t change yourself, your situation won’t change. Change starts with you, because you are in charge of your life.

Starting something of value is hard and scary. But if you have the courage to start something, your life will never be the same again. Once you have the courage to act, you must keep acting. It is easier to start something than it is to keep it going. Keeping it going is more important than starting it. If you can’t keep something going, why start it? And if you have the courage to start, to act, to change your life, don’t postpone it. The next day is busy, so do it now!

Whatever you have in mind that you want to do, start it before the fire is extinguished. Learn how to cook your food when the fire is really hot. Start your project before the enthusiasm fades away. You cannot achieve anything of value without enthusiasm. According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”

Don’t look for a perfect place to start. Start where you are. Don’t look for new materials to start with, start with what you have.

Right now is the best time to start anything. Udai Yadla said, “When you wait for the right time, you’ll never know when it’s already too late.” So if you want to start something, start it today, not tomorrow.

You Have What It Takes To Do Whatever You Want To Do. Stop Limiting Yourself

“Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.”- Albert Einstein

Happiness comes from self-knowledge. If you know who you are, there is nothing you cannot achieve in life. Don’t limit yourself to where you are right now. The world is waiting for you. You have what it takes to change the world. Don’t let failure stop you from doing great things in life. Don’t let fear stop you from releasing the greatness within you.

You are here to live your life, not to just exist. Fear is real. Failure is unavoidable. Failure is a moment of self-discovery. Failure is a way to know yourself better. To know what you can and cannot do.

You can do anything if you believe you can do it. But to do well in life, don’t jump into what you are not good at. You are not good at everything, but you are good at something. If you are good at everything, then you are not good at something. You cannot do everything, but you can do something really well. That “something” is what you should go after. It is what you should explore. It is what you should talk about all the time. Live it. Breathe it. Eat it. Think it. Work it. Enjoy it.

Instead of limiting yourself, take the time to think about what you can do to change your life. There are a lot you can do to change yourself.  You can start by taking action. You can start by loving yourself. For example, if you want to go to school, do it. If you want to start a business, start it. If you want to build a positive relationship, build it. You have what it takes to do whatever you want to do. Don’t wait. Stop waiting. The time will never be right to start something. But if you are ready to change yourself, if you are ready to change your life, if you are ready to inject energy into your life, now is the time. Once you accept to change, you can do it.
