The main reason why you are not getting anywhere in life is because you are waiting for the perfect time. This issue is common. And a lot of us mistake waiting for the perfect time for not being prepared yet.
If someone is not ready or not prepared for achieving their goals, they will say “I am waiting for the right time” or “I still have things I want to do before”. AND just waiting without putting in any effort towards those goals leads to 0 results. If you keep on reading I will show you why.
I am going to use an analogy to explain what needs to be done instead to achieve your goals. Let’s start by looking at some reasons why waiting for the perfect time doesn’t make sense.
There is no perfect time
When we say “perfect time”, we have an image in our heads of what that perfect time is. It could be a certain amount of money or meeting a person with certain characteristics. Life doesn’t follow what you think is the perfect time.
So, the time for your goal to be achieved could come, but not in the same way you have it imagined. Life works only according to its own rules and conditions. How do we know the time that life set for our goal to be achieved ?
Time doesn’t wait
While waiting and not preparing for your goals you end up wasting time. Being productive in other things doesn’t mean you are getting towards your goal. Wasting your time means you are wasting opportunities.
You will never be in your twenties again if you are in your thirties. If you don’t use the power and abilities you have when you are still in your twenties, it will all go to waste. The example presented bellow will explain further.
Trust your goals and they will become reality
Think about this… if you can be so confidant that the “perfect time” is coming, then why not be confidant that your goals will become reality if you start preparing for them now.
…”Some people like to sleep in so they can enjoy dreaming, while others wake up and make those dreams them reality”…
An example
For example, to put all the pieces together, we are going to say that our goal is to buy a house. What do you think is going to happen if you said “I want to buy a 4 bd 2 ba house with a pool” and just continued on with your life without doing anything else ?
Will the house come looking for you ? I don’t think so either.
There are probably plenty of houses with that description and they are being sold without you knowing. All you are doing is wasting your time.
And you think you should do nothing because you don’t have enough down payment or something. Not doing anything is the problem! There is nothing wrong with not being prepared.
Now, on the other hand, you go and tell a realtor and get a pre-approval letter from a lender. You are still saving up for a down payment, but now other parties are involved as well.
If a house comes up and you don’t have all the down payment yet, you never know, maybe the lender will find a program providing down payment assistance.
Now you are able to get the house and save some money as well. Would this happen in the first scenario when you chose to do nothing ?
Also, let’s say you have the description of the house ready, a realtor on your side, a lender’s pre-approval, and all the down payment prepared.
If a house shows on the market, you will hurry towards it to place an offer. Why? Because you have everything prepared and you know exactly what you want.
Some people call it manifestation, I call it know exactly what you want so you know when it show up that it is what you want.
Doing nothing, knowing nothing and just dreaming of the perfect time will only result in you missing all your opportunities to achieve it.
How to get prepared for your goals
Know your goal and make it your PRIORITY
Just imagining your goal as we mentioned above will not do you any good. What you need to do is to actually plan it out, plan out every single step and every single detail needed to accomplish that goal.
When you know your goal and all the details, you will start to steer your life towards achieving that goal. It happens subconsciously, you are making your goal a priority!
If you take this seriously, you will see results!!
Figure out what to do now
There will always be something to do. When your goal is a priority you are always on the move to gain another step towards that goal.
Once you are able to know all the details about your goal you will find out what the next move is.
Before you go
Achieving your goals in life needs some work on your end. Waiting for the perfect time or right time will only lead to disaster.
While it may seem simple, it is serious and takes serious decision making. So, if you are serious about achieving your goal go ahead and check out my post on making a decision independently.
