I think we all have this idea that there is something in the way of starting something that we want to do.Whether need to purchase something, have more time, build a new skill, etc. And although some of this may be true. It’s really just a form of procrastination.
We don’t really need all of these things to start something. We just believe that we do. We believe that we are not enough to make this thing happen without the “missing piece.” I know thats how I felt when I first started my YouTube channel. It was all about makeup. I needed a camera, a microphone, a back drop, more makeup. So for years I put it off.
The reality was, I could have recorded with my phone and used natural light. I could have used the makeup I already had. I could have just started with what I already had. I think we have this idea that things need to be perfect before we start. But this only pushes the start time further. And the years go by and these missing pieces don’t come around and so more time passes.
Then we look back and wonder, how far we could have been if we had just started?
There will never be a perfect time. Even if you get the peices you feel you are missing, something else will come up and be the new missing piece.
You just have to start and work with what you have.
You want to start working out, but you feel like you can’t because you dont have a gym membership? Look up body weight exercises at home.
You want to start eating healthy but you feel like you don’t have time to cook every night? Order a meal prep service or meal prep yourself one night out of the week.
You want to start this new business venture but you feel like you don’t have enough time? Look at your schedule and see where you have been spending time on your phone. Now cut that phone time out and use that time to work on your business with that new time.
There will always be a reason why you don’t feel ready to do something.
That is your mind wanting to keep you comfortable. But if you really want this. Then you can’t fall into the trap of missing something to start.
You have everything you need to start right now.
Work with what you have and as you move further along you can build it up. You can only get better as you take action. Otherwise its just a dream, a vision that you have that will never come to fruition.
And if you feel like there is something deeper getting in the way of you starting. Let’s explore those blocks, so you can move past them and start living the life you’ve always dreamed of.
