Waiting for the perfect moment can cost you your dreams

Why waiting for the perfect moment might hold you back from more joy, happiness and living your best life

I've been there. And maybe you have too or are at the same point in your life right now. You are waiting for the perfect moment or circumstance to get ready, to change, to feel happy or whatever.

Even when we want to meditate we may say "I don't have time now, I first have to complete the work" or "Now the neighbour is doing gardening work, it's too loud for meditation". The list goes on.

The problem is the right moment will never come. Why? Because there is no real future. The future is determined by the way we are in the present moment, when we feel stressed now, we most likely feel stressed in the future. The reason why you don't feel you have time is that your mind most likely keeps telling you reasons to keep you busy. Why is this? There are many reasons.

One of the reasons is most likely we have limiting beliefs, concepts and ideas about ourselves and the world. E.g. we may think we have to work hard to become someone. But how about living and working joyfully, instead of working hard? You become what you believe in. If you unconsciously believe it's lazy to sit still and it is necessary to work hard, then those situations will be shown in your life.

A solution? Do it anyway! Take time for yourself, even if your mind tells you you are busy. Even if the neigbhour does construction or gardening work. Even if the dog barks. Mastery means we can become still despite what's going on around us. It's the art of calming our minds. And ironically, once we calm our minds, we realise that we postponed a lot of our true inner desires and dreams for things that keep us stressed or less fulfilled.

If you think now is not the right moment, you may want to do it anyway. Because this moment will never come again. Who knows what's in 2, 5 or 10 years' time? The more you take care of the now, the more fruitful the future will turn out. If you're postponing a project, a desire, why not start now? The reason that it pops up means you're ready! It's just your mind keeping you distracted with random thoughts.

From my experience, I can say as soon as I calmed the mind, I had a lot of time for things I enjoyed. That was the irony of it.

If you want more tips, you can join my 21 day program where you receive an impulse each day how to feel better, how to calm your mind or become aware of things that my pull your energy down. It is a mix of easy tools that help you in your everyday life.

The secret to creating a life we truly desire is this: We have to rise our energy vibration. It's like a radio. If you don't like the music, turn into another frequency.

Sending you positive vibes!
