Don’t Waste Another Year of Your Life!

I struggled with the bad habit of always over-preparing to then actually be able to do what I wanted to with my life. 

I never made time to go out and have fun because other responsibilities came first.

Always working or taking care of others. Always worried about what those I care about might think of me.

I never bought the plane tickets because I needed to work, get the money and maybe some day  I would have the money and time.

I didn’t take the dance lessons because I might not have time. It was better for me to work, and I hope I can do all those things someday. 

But the time and money would never really show up. Even though I had the money I would use it to prepare myself more. I always work hard for what I want but I was always working for the things that would get me to what I want and not for the actual thing I want to do. 

Always over-prepared and hoping that my hard work would pay off.

If I wanted to travel I thought the best thing was to get a better-paying job, work more on myself, save more money, and then everything would be perfect for me to travel. I didn’t want to fall behind in life but thinking this way was holding me back.

Wasting year after year on over-preparing. All the work and responsibilities will always be there but my time is something I will never get back. It just seemed impossible to think this way before. It made me feel super guilty.

I finally quit my job, I’ve been taking my dance lessons and booked those plane tickets to Japan. I make more time for myself and somehow everything else is falling into place. 

Everything else I will figure it out. If it’s important enough to me I’ll find a way, if it’s not then life will go on. 

We can’t keep wasting our time hoping for a better time. If it’s important enough to you then take action. Work, DO, and live for the things that make life worth living.
