Stop Waiting: The Time to Live Your Dream Life Is Now

When I worked in corporate what I was ultimately pursuing was freedom.

I believed when I made X and owned ALL the things (the cars, watches, clothes, dinner reservations at the best restaurants), I would be free.

And what would I do with my newfound freedom?

I’d finally live the life I said I wanted to live, and I’d create.

I’d write, I’d invent, I’d be my own boss.

When I’m free from my career, then I can live my dream life.

One massive issue with this:

I was playing an infinite game, but I believed it was finite.

I truly believed I’d reach the point of enough. I didn’t know how I would know, but I just “knew” I would.

What I’ve learned:

If we defer our dreams to the other side of “enough,” we’re effectively killing our dreams.

When we kill our dreams, we kill the most authentic aspect of ourselves.

Extraordinary lives aren’t built on the premise of “when I, then I”; they don’t wait for the perfect time.

They start now and make the time perfect.
