I had the pleasure of hearing another great phrase from one of my mentors:
“You don’t have to be great to get started, but you do have to get started to be great!”
Whenever you want to step outside of your comfort zone to try something new, it is typical to want to get it right first time. That would potentially save you time, save you money and save you from any failure or disappointment.
But this is not how it works in the real world. Sometimes you just have to dive in and give it your best shot with what you know at the time.
You will find that the best lessons you learn will be the ones that you have learnt the hard way. By trying and it not working out how you’d hoped.
If you wait for the perfect time to get started, you will probably never start at all. It is never the perfect time. You will just keep procrastinating and let the opportunity pass you by.
So, again, the key is to just get started on your journey by taking that first step. Remember how to eat an elephant, one bite at a time!
This sums up why so many of the most successful people are successful compared to the average person in life.
Instead of thinking about it and finding excuses not to take action straight away, they just have a go.
Remember that the universe rewards those who take action. Taking action will allow you to eventually become great at anything that you want.
If you want a fit body but find it all too daunting, just take that first step. After a while, with continuous improvement, you will be able to look back and be amazed at how far you have come.
An example from my journey was being in front of the camera and making videos. I found many reasons not to do it before I finally got stuck in and made some pretty ordinary videos.
But after a year or so, I now feel pretty comfortable making videos and getting my message out there in cyber world to anyone who cares to watch.
So procrastinate no more, just get started on your goal today and stop wasting your precious time. You will never get your time back.
Dream big and take action ๐
