Hey I want to cover two of the biggest excuses of why many of us fail to take
action towards where we want to be in life and business. The first is whether
we are ready whether now is the right time to begin to take that step. Second
is whether this is the right decision, whether this is going to lead to where
we imagine it can lead to now if we look at the first one about whether now is
the right time, here's what I want to say to that, if you're waiting until things
are perfect whether now is the right moment you're waiting for that right
moment or when you are 100% ready. Well, bad news is you're likely to be waiting
your entire life and that's because there is no perfect
moment there is no time when you'll be a hundred percent fully ready because
there is always something that you can do in order to be ready, you can always
do something more so if you're always waiting for the right time
chances are you'll never begin. Second, about whether this is the right decision
well, everything to be honest is unknown until you try everything in life is
unknown until you try and give it a go. You know, both of these remind me of an
article written by Bonnie Ware, an Australian nurse that worked in
palliative care. This was the part of the hospital where patients were in their
final few weeks of dying, and she asked them what some of their biggest regrets
were, and compiled a list of the top ten regrets of the dying
and two of these were, one, I wish I'd not worry too much and, second, I wish I lived
more in the present. Now these regrets reading through them, are a great way for us
to heed these words to heed these regrets and not fall into that same trap
because what we do today, will impact where our lives will end. Now, you can't
go back and change how you began, or change what happened in the past, but
what you can do today, is change things so that your ending doesn't have to be
where it currently would be if you continued in your current direction. The focus here is
more on progress than perfection because what is perfect? So focus more on
progress over perfection, and reflect on what's most important to you right now
and have the courage to build your life around that. Because when you begin, I
guarantee when you take these small steps forward, you'll build momentum and
momentum is an amazing feeling, when you begin that momentum forward that new you
is going to look back at the old you and say I can't ever be like who I was
before, I'm loving this journey so much I can't
fathom what more could be possible for me. And here's the thing, if you begin
today to take just a tiny step forward, in years to come you could look back and
say I'm so glad I began then, or I wish I had started then.
