On a weekly basis, I receive inspirational stories that I absolutely love! This one really hit home with me because I hear so many people putting off what they are most passionate about because they don't feel the timing is right for some reason or another. I've always been a believer of "Just do it!" (one of my favourite advertisements of all time by NIKE)
So whatever you've put off the last week, month, or years, now's the time to get moving and take action!
“Don’t wait. The Time will never be just right”
- Napoleon Hill
Excel, get great or extraordinary at what you love now. Don’t hesitate and don’t wait. Don't put it off...do it now. When we postpone things we put ourselves in the land of regret or on the edge of that territory. Don’t hold back, go all out. Whatever you want to do grab onto it with both hands and ride hard. Too often we wait it out until retirement to enjoy life to the fullest. Do it now and build on it even more when you retire. Travel now, exercise now, eat great foods now, love now, work hard now. Live in the moment and live well. Use your best China now, have a party now, visit your mother now.
Here is a powerful and revealing question. When was the last time you did something for the first time? What was it? Do something totally new, do something totally outside your comfort zone. Do something outrageous. Shock yourself occasionally by doing something you think isn't for you or you are scared of. Scare yourself occasionally.
Dream, set goals and go after what you plan for but also mix it up and step outside what you've planned. Spontaneity is a wonderful gift to give to yourself. Stop being so predictable. Stop being so bloody boring. Outrageous is powerful and memorable and a good educator. What are your limits. Push that edge occasionally.
