The Time is Now

Today? Two months? Six months? Two years? After saving one year's salary? After the kids are off to college?

When will you decide to initiate the idea that has kept you daydreaming, doodling, writing in your diary, and up late at night?  What will it take to put your dreams ahead of whatever is stopping you from achieving them?

Think about whatever it is that's stopping you.  Imagine what is the worst that can happen if you actually put full effort into achieving your goal....Go ahead.  Take some time and think about it.  Now that you've gotten that out of the way, think about what would happen if you were living in the reality of your wildest dream.  How does it feel?  Who is around you?  What are the physical, spiritual, emotional, and/or financial benefits of doing what it is you had been yearning to do?

Skillologists, it's time for a cost-benefit analysis.  How do the benefits of pursuing your dream outweigh the costs?  With some strategy, passion, and determination, the benefits of moving forward will be worth it.  Even if you feel you may not be ready, it's time to purchase and claim the seed that is your idea, plant it, and start watering it to make it grow.  The time is now.
