The No Excuses Project: ‘the timing isn’t right’

Even though I know darned well that the timing is never right, at least by my standards, this is probably my most frequently used excuse. Timing only becomes perfect in retrospect after you’ve achieved success and things didn’t fall apart like you anticipated.
I haven’t come up with a killer strategy for this one yet, except to remind myself that the bad things in life, like cancer and car accidents, rarely wait for the time to be just right so seizing the day for the things you do want is the only way to make sure they stay on the list. I think it’s also helpful to break down the resistence into smaller pieces such as money, time, the economy etc. and find ways to adjust each and expectations so that things can still move forward. If nothing else, it’s worth getting some of the learning out of the way so that if you do have to try again at some later point there will be fewer hurdles. It’s the challenge that makes things fun:-)
