"Starting is the Perfect Condition"

That's the beauty of trying out new ways of doing things.

If it turns out that's not exactly what you want to do, trying different things will only help you figure out what that "thing" is. What your dream is really about.

The issue with our dreams is that they don't have a specific timeline, and often, we are not even sure what exactly it is that we want because we have really never experienced it before. And so, we often push them back for next year, for when the timing is right, and for when the conditions, in some way, become "perfect".

But the truth is this: Thinking for another year won't help you figure out what the dream exactly is or how to get there.

If you're thinking, "I will do it next year" or "I will start next year", that's the kind of thinking that keeps you stuck. Because, it will always continue to be next year.

Trust me on this.

I spent many years thinking about doing (writing, sharing my voice, posting, dating, investing my money, investing in myself, putting myself out there, telling people what I wanted, saying "no", saying "I love you", you name it), which got me to... well, to the same place I was. Useless thought cycle, over and over again!

Stop waiting for the perfect time, the perfect year, or the perfect conditions, and know that getting started is the 'perfect' condition.
