The Longer you wait to do something you should do now, the greater the odds that you will never actually do it.

I’m sure that I am not the only one who if not always, but most of the times put things aside and say “I’ll do it later.”

Later. LATER.

Can there be a more insidious word? Later, as in “I’ll do it later.” Or, “Later, I’ll have (more) time to…“, I’ll do it tomorrow.”

“Later” is one of those dream-killers, one of the countless obstacles we put to derail my chances of success.

These words, like:

“Tomorrow” will start…

Happens “eventually” …

Begins “someday“…

… Combine with other self-imposed roadblocks and lock me on autopilot.

Not once I did ask myself: Why do I do this to myself, anyway? Why don’t I take action now?

I might being a bit harsh to myself because I do take actions, but not in the tempo I want to. I imagined I’ll progress a bit faster (in all area in my life). And I do give hard time to myself for not do the things I want to do.

Also, I know why I am not moving faster is because I do have that habit still “I’ll do it later.” there are days when I just feel like not doing anything, and also I know the answer why, it’s because it’s HARD.

Let’s face it: FAMILIAR is easy; the uncharted path is lined with uncertainties.

To stay in my comfort zone is the safe choice. Even though I don’t feel happy there, but staying where I always been, what I already know it’s keeps me from face my fears.

I am a firm believer that the reason we postpone to do the things what we want to do for our own growth is FEAR. We fear of our own success. The following five factors come into play:

Fear of Failure

Fear of Trading Security for the Unknown

Fear of Being Overextended Financially

Fear of What Others Will Say or Think

Fear of Success Will Alienate Peers

I am still not sure which fear most impacts me. It’s a bit all of them if I want to be honest.

I am afraid of failing, what others thinking of me or let them down; to succeed, to live different the way I’m dreaming of, fear of achieve my goals even though I want them.

Although, doesn’t matter which fear is affecting me the most because I do have faith. The only question is, which emotion will I allow to be stronger?

My fear or my faith in myself?

I can feel that the last couple of months this is changing. My faith is getting stronger and takes over; stops me living my life in fear.

The more I do the things I think/I know I should do – even I don’t have the motivation, or the feel to do at the time- the more fearless I become.

I feel the changes in Me.

The more I started to respect myself, the more I like myself and the more I believe in myself. And the more accept myself the way I am.

These thoughts are haunting me lately because my life took an unexpected turn and I just have to adjust to it, create a routine, a balance.

It is hard, extremely hard because I don’t feel to find it, feel like there is not enough time a day and it makes me overwhelmed and upset. Which creates the habits of “I’ll do it later.”

It’s the devil’s circle, which very hard to step out of.

I think what helps me keep me going is the desire to growth, my purpose and passion and my family!

I have my Why’s to do all I want to do even when I’m having my hard moments to do so.

Life lived for tomorrow will always be a day away from being realised.

Peace&Love
