There May NEVER Be A PERFECT TIME
While I am NOT an avid showbiz fan, in my country, one of the most famous couple recently 'UNCOUPLED'. WHY? From the grapevine, it says the famous actress decided to cut loose from the relationship because she has been waiting for 'concrete plans' from the actor for the past twelve years, whew. Not earthshaking BUT There May NEVER Be A PERFECT TIME. Who knows the actor kept waiting and waiting for that PERFECT TIME and before he knew it, twelve years have lapsed! While this is showbiz stuff, are we able to relate to it? HOW often we hear people have grandiose plans BUT end up getting stuck. STUCK with WHAT? STUCK waiting for that PERFECT TIME to chime-in, unaware that very likely, there is NO PERFECT TIME to unfold even the next donkey years๐ต๐ด๐ท
Thing is, there is NEVER a PERFECT TIME for you to take action. BETTER TIME, yes there could be BUT PERFECT TIME? C'mon. Whether it is to launch a new project, to buy a new home, to change your habit, there will be BETTER TIMES when it is compared to the worst timings BUT PERFECT TIME? You just need to acknowledge this harsh truth. Heard of "I'm too tired", "I don't have the time", "I am not capable", "Now is NOT the right time". This loop will go on and on and it will keep looping๐๐๐
Frankly, it is easy to come up with excuses, and justify NOT starting or initiating on something. The longer you fill your head with rationalizations and empty excuses, the less time you have time to take action. Indeed, it is damn easy to say, 'I will start WHEN I have more experience, more money, more time, more resources. By this time next year, you will have a lot MORE excuses, promise, trust me. It is a vicious cycle and once you get caught in the loop, it can be difficult to break free and do something meaningful you care about. Frankly, I commiserate with [some] people [I'm sorry I have to adamantly declare that I am NOT one of these people] are living their entire lives without ever standing up and stepping out. BUT it is exciting to witness the very rare few WHO dare themselves and step out of their personal bubbles to really initiate and push for a CHANGE๐ง๐ง๐ง
Too bad, most of us live with that stubborn illusion that we will always have tomorrow to do today's work. We consistently hold on to this belief and keep procrastinating UNTIL work becomes that of a heavy burden. And WHEN left unchecked, we will always default toward a more comfortable path. Your comfortable zone provides a state of mental security. You can understand WHY it is so hard to kick your brain out of your comfort zone. BUT until when you'll get stuck in your comfort zone❓❓❓
Our takeaway? It is true that very likely, when you plunge into that path OR option you have, you will face a different set of risks. BUT hey, this explains WHY we are expected to do our due diligence [and that includes the prudent risk assessment]. Unfortunately, many people still peg risk assessment only to the workplace. NO sirrrrrs, even in your everyday life, in your personal plans, risk assessment matters because THERE MAY NEVER BE A PERFECT TIME❕❕❕
