Many of us spend our whole lives waiting for that perfect moment. That moment when everything aligns and we can finally take the next step. When things are exactly how they need to be to move forward and you feel ready.
NEWSFLASH: That moment is never gonna happen. Things never oh so rarely, work out the way you want them too. There will never be a right time to quit your job, start that company, move to a new city or ask that person out. The right time never happens, yet you see people all around you excelling.
So what’s the deal?
They’re doing things before they’re ready.
They’re doing things when they’re uncomfortable and unsure. Because you NEED to act before your ready. Leap before you feel comfortable. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. As cliche as it all sounds, it’s true.
A comfortable life is boring and mundane. You’re robbing the world of your incredible gifts if you always choose to wait. And keep waiting for that perfect moment, to finally feel ready.
There’s no such thing as ready. If it’s new it will never feel ‘comfortable’.
But…
DO IT ANYHOW.
No, for real.
DO IT.
Take a leap of faith; book that flight, buy that domain, reach out to that person, incorporate your company, hand in your resignation, apply for that job you think you won’t get, start that blog, send that email, whatever it might be.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
Stop waiting. Start living.
Then take the next step. Reach out to someone new. Ask for help. Accept help and advice. Listen and learn, then apply what feels right.
And repeat.
Fail.
Fail faster, try harder. And repeat.
Successful people fail all the time.
Their secret? They keep getting back up.
Seriously.
Because failure means you’re trying. And learning. And growing.
Yes, it’s going to be uncomfortable, painful and stressful at times. But ask anyone that’s ever tried anything new… an athlete trying a new move, an entrepreneur starting a new company, anyone that’s has ever started a new job.
It’s change and we’re designed to not like it.
But, oh when you finally nail that back handspring double front flip with a twist, land that first client, receive your first piece of positive feedback, make it to the other side of that book, you will feel AMAZING.
And if you don’t…
KEEP GOING.
Because life is too short to keep waiting for the stars to align. To wait another day, week, month, or year to start. This can be applied to every area of your life; from your career, to your health to your relationships.
So that thing you’ve been putting off? This is your friendly nudge to go do it. To take that next step and keep taking them so you can learn and grow and experience more.
And if living abroad or traveling is one of those things, well Behere has got you covered. We’re taking the scary, overwhelming parts of living in a new city for a monthl out, so you get to experience a new amazing city and lifestyle.
