Start on what matters right now

If something really matters at a moment in our lives, then we will always find the motivation, the time, the effort and the focus to get it done once we have overcome our fears, which gets easier the more we practice.

The excuses come when something really does not matter, certainly as much as we sometimes profess it to matter or feel pressured to say that it’s important.

We aren’t born with knowing what is the most important thing and rarely is there a single reason for our existence. However, unless we try different things, unless we give something a go, we will never know if it works or not, we will never learn and evolve to our best potential.

Once we start out on pursuing our dreams, we learn sometimes that this was not for us, not the thing that mattered as much as we thought.That’s OK, we are allowed to change our minds.

What is a great shame is if we never set out on things that matter at that moment, do not take that current burning desire, as we will never evolve, we will never get the chance to discover something magical that just might be our thing in life.

Rarely do our priorities, interests, inspirations remain constant for a lifetime, they change, evolve, and get better, however, only if we start on what matters to us right now.

Don’t remain stuck regretting what might have been and don’t miss that opportunity to open pathways to greater things, you have to try to know what’s next.

Ah but…

Our default position is ‘ah but..’

We look by habit for what won’t work with a new idea. We say ‘yeah but, what if this happens…’ or ‘yeah, but I’ve tried that…’.

That does not mean we should not question things and look for challenges. But more often than not, until you try something you won’t know what the issues might be, other than the glaringly obvious things, which can easily be remedied before pressing the launch button.

The reason for this is our habit of building a cast iron defense for justifying our position of fear of starting or trying new things.

Best thing is to just go, try it. Then learn what doesn’t quite work, modify and carry on. Form new habits.

It is a mindset thing, change the default to that will work from what won’t work.
