How many times do you find yourself waiting, planning, scheming, and trying to get everything just right before you move forward with a big goal? Something like moving or changing jobs can require a bit of planning in order to do it without a lot of unnecessary stress, but when it comes to your dreams, when is the perfect time to get started?
It has been my experience that there isn’t a specific moment when the clouds part, the sun is shining, and you just know that everything is perfect. Let’s face it, perfect is word that tends to cause us to procrastinate on the things we want most in life because we want it to be just right. And my perfect may not be the same as yours and I would bet that your perfect may not even be all that realistic right?
What I am really talking about here is how you know when it’s time to move forward and take that leap you have dreaming of. For me, it took some visualization, excitement, and inspiration I gained by watching others take that big scary leap. It was then that I realized the perfect time I was waiting for was just a ploy for me to, well keep dreaming. In the dream phase my goal was beautiful, exciting, but not quite real. I mean, I wanted it, but it was more of a figment of my imagination than it was something I could accomplish. When I put the perfection aside and took the leap, I had more inspiration than I knew what to do with and it seemed that things were coming together by my not waiting for the perfect moment.
How could it be?
How could it all come together in the most organic, unplanned, yet almost magical way?
It came together because I always had the potential to accomplish my dreams and one day I just decided to take that first step. I didn’t have to know the whole dance, hell I still don’t know the whole dance, but I’m learning more and more each day. I guarantee you will too.
You see, that perfect time you are waiting for is now. Today. Or Tomorrow. Or whenever you choose for it to be. It’s not about getting specific things lined up so you can take that first step. It’s about taking the first step and trusting that the rest will fall in line.
It’s about believing in yourself and allowing your path to be guided by the magical intuition you have been gifted with because it will always lead the way if you listen.
Do you hear it now? What is it saying?
Whether you make today, tomorrow, or next week your “perfect time”, you will be right because you get to choose. The question is why wait?

This is interesting….My next weeks post is on ‘How perfectionists (like myself) don’t take action and how to overcome that’. Just shows how important this is. Thanks for the beautiful post.
