ARE YOU WAITING FOR PERFECT CONDITIONS TO START WORKING ON YOUR DREAMS? - WELL, GUESS WHAT, THEY'LL NEVER BE PERFECT SO YOU CAN START ANYWAY!


ARE YOU WAITING FOR PERFECT CONDITIONS TO START WORKING ON YOUR DREAMS? - WELL, GUESS WHAT, THEY'LL NEVER BE PERFECT SO YOU CAN START ANYWAY!


Unfavourable circumstances and unconducive conditions  are the most common excuses for the individual who wouldn't start working towards their own aspirations and dreams.
These excuses are the kith and kin
of procrastination the parent of forfeited success.

If and when we are able to articulate our dreams, it is enough to know who we are, where we stand relative to where we intend to end up when our dreams have been broken down to goals with actionable tasks and executed fully.
We begin right away from there with the littlest of resources available to us or within our reach. Perfect conditions are an utopia and we do not live in utopia we are in the world on planet earth where conditions never adjust perfectly  to suit an individual's requirements rather the individual studies them carefully and adapts accordingly in order to drive one's agenda and execute one's plans.

If we think we can wait and one day wake up to ideal conditions just suitable for our dreams and plans we are mistaken, it will not happen, however if we stand up right where we are and manoeuvre within the prevailing conditions, we give ourselves a big chance of succeeding and the more we do it with zeal and passion we develop skill through experience, having acquired skill we become adept and what initially seemed to be unconducive conditions to the pursuit of our dreams looks just perfect and we cut through like a hot knife through butter.

So what would have changed? It is our angle of looking at circumstances and approaching them, our paradigms and attitude would have changed. We can only get  the feeling of perfect conditions through experience and skill acquired from navigating seemingly hostile, unfavourable and unconducive conditions.

A key element of success is resilience, our ability to endure difficulties without losing heart and focus on our main objective, we weather the storms going through the highs and lows knowing that our goal is achievable without fail if we endure.

So to pursue our dreams and life's plans, our "one thing" whatever it is for each one of us, we can begin today, right where we are and right now.
Once one gets started on a particular journey or area of interest it is amazing how avenues seem to open up along the way and one realises that there is an actual community of like minded people pursuing the same things as we are. It no longer feels lonely or seems impossible as it does in the beginning when we are still gripped by fear, anxiety and procrastination in our solitary state hoping in vain for an utopia of perfect circumstances and conditions.

Somebody once said "If you wait for perfect conditions you will never get anything done" and how spot on they were! A small start step by step little by little is better than no start at all, so we can get started it is possible, when we are seized by our dream and the passion burns in us we worry not about the onlookers and naysayers instead we use their negative words as fodder and burn them as fuel to spur us on because they have no idea what we are onto and we are not in the business of changing their minds about success which we have not yet achieved.

So we may take time articulating our dreams to ourselves, meditating on them, polishing our strategy and execution plan that is all well and fine because the dream and vision ought to be nurtured and fully understood by the one to whom it belongs so that no matter what happens in the field of execution when the conditions get rough and tough one can always dig deep and feel the zeal and fire still burning inside despite dire circumstances.
One can persevere knowing that no circumstance is permanent no matter how good or bad it is conditions always change in the course of time. This is the beauty and reality of life, the one certain guarantee we can all count on that conditions will always changed in the course of time sometimes cyclically as evidenced by seasons coming and going only to repeat the process at regular intervals.

What is your dream today? What have you done to break it down to goals with actionable tasks which can be done step by step? When this is done there is no need to wait for perfect conditions because that will never happen, take the conditions on just as they are and along the way you will certainly gain experience and skill by paying attention and maintaining focus. Eventually the conditions will feel just okay, cast away the self doubt and fear, get started and never look
back!
