“If I had started this 5 years ago, I’d be incredibly successful by now. Instead, I have to…”
“If only you had started doing this a few months back, the timing would have been much better..”
Just get started.
Yes, the timing might have been much better but you wouldn’t have been ready. And I’d take my readiness over optimal timing any day of the week. The timing is hardly ever optimal. Rarely do we have a day on the road when all the lights we pass are green. If we waited for the optimal moment, we’d never get started.
Timing is the resistance’s way of playing tricks on you. It’s an easy excuse to get out of action. Often, you’re looking at the wrong thing altogether. The timing may be wrong for an opportunity you think you wanted but may be perfectly right for the opportunity you really need. Of course you can’t see it seated on your couch.
When you get started, don’t worry about about the middle or the end because the middle and the end are going to look very different when you get there.
Just get started.
