The Right Time
If I always wait for the right time, the right time may never come. Carpe diem. Make it the right time.
Live your dreams as you dream them; otherwise, the “right time” may never come.
A very good friend and mentor of mine once told me I seemed to work hard at making excuses for why things wouldn’t workout. It was true. I did work hard at it. Why? Because I was scared of failure.
She also told me if I sit around waiting for things to come to me, they never will. I had to go after what I want and make it happen myself. Funny, my wife has told me the same thing, not exactly like that but she meant the same thing.
Over the last 9 or 10 months, I have been battling the fear of failure. I’ve been making significant changes in my life… eating healthier, exercising, becoming more positive. This is something I am doing for myself. I know what I want and I’m going after it. I want to be healthier and stronger, both physically and mentally. I want to look and feel better.
It’s not always easy. I’ve hit a few set backs. Set backs are not failures. I may not get there as fast as I want, but I will get there.I am still learning and still growing and changing. But I will not give up.
It kills me when I hear people say… “Oh I’ll start tomorrow.” because tomorrow never comes.
If we let fear hold us back, we will never have what we want. If we sit around waiting for the right time, the right time may never come. Or more than likely we will never feel it is the right time, so we will continue to put it off until it’s just too late.
If you don’t want something that is one thing. But if you are afraid and just don’t feel it is the right time, then don’t let that fear hold you back, make it the right time before there is no time left.
This was really thoughtful…..I struggle with similar issues all of the time. You make some really good points.
