If you have an idea you’ve been thinking about putting into action, I’d like you to consider the following.
- What if your idea became a huge success?
- What if it were to be the start of a pivotal moment in your life?
- What if it were to be all this, yet you failed to put the idea into play?
Negative influences
The world is full of people, telling us what we can’t do. They are often sincere and mean well, but we need to be smart enough not to confuse sincerity with accuracy. It’s possible to be sincerely wrong! So, it’s down to us to learn how to choose which voices we listen to and how to process the information we are given.
I was prompted to write this for you today, after being reminded of the following, wonderful quote:
“Those who say it can’t be done are usually interrupted by others doing it.” ~ James Baldwin.
No guarantee of success
Anything we achieve in life of significant value, comes with no guarantee of success. Think about it for a moment: Asking someone to marry you, starting a family, starting a business – none of these come with a guarantee and they are all of great importance.
Ironically, one of the few things in life we can guarantee, is that we will get nowhere if we insist on waiting for guarantees.
So, what are you waiting for?
Don’t wait for permission. Pick yourself. Take control. Accept responsibility. Do the research. Plan the work. Work the plan.
