Introduction

Most people spend their entire lives waiting for something–to be 21, to find a partner, to start exercising or to start learning a new language.

Maybe you want to play an instrument, wait for the weekend, summer, wait for sunny days, wait to be a better person, to be more charismatic, funnier, to be brave, to express their opinion, to quit a job that you hate.

You may wait for a better mood to do the things that you have always wanted to do and all kinds of situations that could potentially make them better in some way—or simply a perfect timing for something.

‘’Oh, when will I have the courage to go to work, look my boss in the eye and ask for a higher salary? If I only had the courage to do it, everything would be so much better in my life.’’

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as ‘perfect timing.’ There are so many lives wasted because that moment never comes. With this kind of thinking, you will never get what you want just because you’re not ready to take an extra step forward.

‘’I wish I was braver.’’

‘’I wish I had the guts to do that.’’

‘’I wish I was less shy in life. I wish I was more assertive, louder, more determined.’’

These are some of the sentences that you can actually hear an old person say.

How many times have you heard that the person was sorry for being too assertive, to ambitious, too brave, that he/she expressed his/her opinion too much? Mostly likely never.

Would you like to wake up one day and realize that you could say all these things? How does that make you feel?

Most people spend their entire lives waiting and additionally—many also expect other people to somehow please them with their behavior. If a person could be less brave in order for you to stand out, would you be brave then? If a person was quiet, would you be louder?

If somebody did not have an opinion, would you express yours then? If your boss promised you a higher salary without you even asking, how would you act?

Once every single piece of the puzzle fits, everything will be perfect, you might often think. But, try to remember this: It will never (ever) happen.

Good things and opportunities happen to those people who are actually taking the lead and actually are determined to do something with his/her life.

You cannot spend your life thinking that everything will just sit in its place and stay like that until the end of your time. No, no and no. That will certainly not happen.

What might happen is that you wish for things, make plans and try to achieve as many as you can during your lifetime, instead of just waiting for things to miraculously happen to you as you have planned.

Waiting and stressing, in most cases, lead to one big nothing. People who are successful and happy with their current situation are those who work for it and make it happen.

This means actual work that requires a lot of action. For example, if you want to lose weight, get up now and find a local gym class.

Do it straight away, take action now and not later, not tomorrow, not when you think it is the good time—do it this instant.

If you want to learn a new language, sign up for a class of any kind, but simply do it right away.

Waiting and postponing will only make you regret that you have not have done it sooner than later.

Next year, on this same day, you will wish that you had done it the year before. And so will you a year later. Accordingly, the best timing in the world for you is NOW.

Having to wait another month, another year, decade, will make you realize that you have been waiting this whole time for a
