I’ve probably said this a thousand times – Our time here, on this planet, is limited. We don’t know when our time will be up. Yet we often put things off or wait for the “perfect” moment to make our move. If we don’t know how many trips we have around the sun, why are we waiting? What life event must happen to us to push us out of our comfort zone and finally take that leap of faith?
Nothing in this life is impossible. If you are alive and still breathing, there is a still a chance. If you choose to not make your move, well, then, it is impossible.
This summer I wrote about how we need to stop saving things for special occasions. We tend to save things for special occasions or wait to get started on things. We wait until we are thin enough, have enough money in the bank or when we will have the time. Spoiler alert: we often never have the time. We have to make the time for the things that are priorities to us.
But while we are waiting for conditions to be perfect, life happens. Time passes. And we never begin. The truth is, you cannot afford to live in potential for the rest of your life. At some point, you have to unleash your potential and make your move.
Remember, our comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there. We stay in our safe space because it is known, it is certain. We don’t have to face the possibility of failing. But anyone who has ever done anything great has failed many, many times. They know that failure is just experience. So, what are you waiting for? When are you going to make your move?
