Do What You Can When You Can (STYBY #106 )
You will never have a perfect time and rarely a good time to act. But the opportune time is whenever you have the energy and capacity to work a task.
There will be times in your life, and those time may seem entirely too frequent, where you will find ourselves behind the eight ball of life. You will find yourself in situations where things are not working. Maybe a large number of things not working. The circumstances may seem so dire with so many things that are just not right, and you may think there is no real reason even to try to get up and start over again.
But there are plenty of reasons. Mostly, because we really need you to. We need you to do your best and try your best and see how you can make your way out of the situation. But we realize there are some issues you are facing that are insurmountable, at the present moment. Some things you can’t quite work on at this very time. Things that will take a lot of extra effort to work out.
So you work on what you can fix right now at this moment.
A prime example is having issues with your finances. Most problems we find ourselves facing that our finance-based can’t be fixed overnight. So instead of stressing over all the cash flow problems you can’t fix at this very moment, you can work on cleaning a cluttered room. What you need right now is a shift in mindset, because part of your disconnect with sound financial practices may be overall disorganization. And if you get better at organizing in your life and your personal space, it’s a great start to working on deep-seated issues around money management.
It doesn’t have to be massive change all the time for the change that you can make to be worth the effort. It just has to be a real effort towards real change.
