The One Word That Destroys Dreams

It is NOT Failure, Comparison, or Fear

In the world of finances and the stock market, you often hear there is no “perfect” time to invest. Well, that’s not true.

There is a perfect time and it was, is, and always will be — NOW.

Don’t Wait for the Stars to Align

The same goes for your ambitions.

There is no better time to start than now. There is no magical “perfect moment” when all the stars align and help you mark a flawless beginning.

Success is the result of consistent effort that compounds over a period of time.

By delaying the start, you’re doing nothing but delaying the end. The longer you take to begin, the further the finish line gets. Do you now realize the one word that you let murder your dreams?

And The Word is…

Tomorrow. That is the thief in the night, the one-word assassin of dreams. It promises a perfect moment, the ideal alignment of circumstances when you’ll be “truly ready”, but it never arrives.

The only way to be ready is to start now, with what little you can…

Because here’s the truth: the perfect moment is a mirage. It disappears the closer you get, much like an oasis. The only way to pursue your dreams is to lace up your metaphorical running shoes, step onto the track, and start running.

Progress Over Perfection

Starting now doesn’t mean you have to take up the most Herculean tasks.

Begin where you are and with what little you have. Take small, consistent steps and trust that the path will reveal itself to you as you start walking. Just don’t stand still. Something is always better than nothing.

So start now. Your dreams are waiting for you to begin.
