Start now
- "Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
- Goethe
The future is created by how we live now.
Reach for your deepest resource of commitment and get going. Today. Not tomorrow. Tomorrow does not exist. It slips into today forever evading us. We don't have time for that.
If we don't start now, we may never get going. We have peers who know what they wish to do with their lives, and yet they believe they must first go out into the "real world", and gain experience. While it has always been and still is so that the young must learn from the elders, the trouble is that we seek to learn from a system that we don't truly believe in. In the name of "getting experience" it becomes okay to work with unethical practices. As many of us take jobs that are not inspired from our hearts and guided by our passions and purpose, we limit - from the onset - our ability to make a real difference and to find joy in our work. Our passion, and our drive dies.
It usually doesn't work to compromise who we are and what we believe in the present for a dream of living up to it in the future.
It takes creativity to identify the channels through which you can bring your contribution to the need. Waiting complacently for something to come along is not going to make it easier, in fact it will most likely make it harder. If the platform and tools do not exist to make our dream possible, get going in creating them. Learning comes with action.
