If you’re expecting the “right time” you’re going to wait forever. Yes, if it’s worth the idea, you’ll never feel ready. Change starts at the edge of your comfort zone and that’s when it makes sense. That’s when things get interesting.

Only once in a while, inspiration comes to knock. Will you open the door or deny your idea its right to become??? Will you deny yourself the opportunity to start?

Turn “I’m not sure I can” into “I’ll figure it out”. Start now, work hard and you will figure the rest out. Just start.

Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever has. For the love of God, don’t let it kill yours too, whatever you do, just start.


My #JUSTSTART Project

I know this may sound simple to grasp, but it may be exciting. Many of us have difficulties getting started on important tasks that need to be done. We have different excuses, which is why we can not perform a certain task.

My Goal: To me, it’s about learning to play guitar as it’s my childhood dream, but I’ve been delaying it for so long. Earlier my father did not wanted me to waste my time on this, furthermore due to busyness, office routine and domestic engagements, I didn't got time to learn it.

Challenges faced before

Procrastination is the biggest monster that was in my way for learning guitar, I have been planning to learn it from ages but couldn't do it because of this monster in my head.

Time Management was also a factor due to which I was not able to learn guitar, due to busy routine, office routine and some other engagements, I was unable to manage my time.

Challenges faced this time

Challenges this time was not as hard as they were previously, one of the biggest challenge for me this time was, from last few days my shoulder muscle was pulled up due to which I was literally unable to sit or even walk but I took it as challenge and went to meet one of my fellow Atif Razzaq who had a very good command in playing guitar, I borrowed his guitar and asked him to teach me the first lesson. Although time management was also a challenge for me but I am thankful to Amal Academy who taught me the time management technique and a task management matrix, by these skills I was able to complete my challenges.


How did I achieve my Goal

I assigned three task for my self in order to achieve my goal, and those were

  1. To contact my fellow who had a guitar.
  2. To ask him for his time for teaching me the first lesson.
  3. To learn have to practice, playing guitar on daily basis.

Again I am thankful to Amal Academy who motivated me to achieve my goal, to manage my time and made me focus on my self.

Conclusion

ITS JUST ABOUT “THAT START”, IF YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING “JUST START”
