3 Reasons Why You Don’t Have To Wait To Do What You Love
#1. You’re already late.
Last week I asked my newsletter readers, “What are you waiting for?”
Not in the motivational sense, as if I am trying to push you towards some action. But in the most literal, rhetorical sense. I am curious.
WHAT are you waiting for?
After all, if you’re reading this article, you’re waiting for something. And it’s good to know what’s holding you back from doing what you love.
The sad thing is that most people wait. Some wait their whole lives. Even the so-called “privileged” — the ones that many of us dream of becoming — wait.
Investment bankers wait. Lawyers wait. Bloggers and writers wait. Everybody waits for permission: to stand up, stop doing what they don’t like, and start doing things they have been procrastinating on.
The whole system is designed for you to wait. You go to school and wait to graduate to enter a university. While in college, you expect to get a job. When you get a job, you wait to retire and ‘finally’ start living. Then you get a mortgage, have kids, marry, and waiting becomes even more reasonable than it was before.
