The majority of your life is spent waiting, so let’s not wait anymore, ok?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Hey there rebel! Today I want to talk about something I’ve been preoccupied with for most of my life with — time.

When you’re obsessed with time, you account for every second.

You account for the time you’re spending on somebody else’s paycheck; the time you waste in binge-watching guilty-pleasure series; the time it takes you to create or get to creating something because you’re a procrastinator. Basically, every second is a glare that blinds you to the moments you can actually enjoy and turn into something worth having.

Because when you’re preoccupied with time, you spend a lot of it waiting.

Waiting for the day when you have more than enough time to pursue your dreams; waiting for the day when all the odds are in your favor; waiting for the day when your responsibilities melt away and you are a free man/woman; waiting for the day when you finally feel ready…

Here’s the thing: You’re waiting for a day that will never come.

I don’t want to disillusion you or say no to your dreams. On the contrary; I want to wake you from this constant state of waiting. And I want you to see that you can do ANYTHING at ANY TIME, whatever anyone else — or your conscience — might say. Wining you lies the power of CHANGE. But as any other power, you have to activate it yourself. Not wait for permission. Or for a day when you are forced to move your a** and make the change.

Most of us secretly wish that something will happen to make things different, but it’s up to YOU to make things happen.
Let’s take an inventory of all the times I’ve waited in my life:

When I was a teen, I waited to wake up different and popular.
When I was in University, I waited for the day I would stop procrastinating.
When I was in Uni still, I waited for “the perfect story” to start writing.
When I was in my early 20’s, I waited to have more money to travel.
When I fell into a quarter-life crisis, I waited for the day when I would finally figure out a way to balance my passions and my work, but I had to finally stop waiting, and create my own new reality, and that was the single hardest thing I have ever done, and the best.
When I talk to my clients, I keep hearing the same objections over and over — I have too little time, I don’t have enough money to do that, It’s too hard, I don’t feel motivated, I have too many responsibilities to start my own business on the side, and these objections could PARALYZE anyone.
