If not now when?

When is the best time to start something?

Next Monday?
On the first of the month?
On New Year’s Day?
 
If you think about it, you’ll realise that the best time to start something is NOW, at the exact moment you wonder when it is.
NOW that you’re whole being is shouting: That’s what I want! That’s what I need to do!
NOW that you know it’s true.

NOW.
 
Go ahead.
Make a plan. Write down the steps you know you have to take (you don’t need to know all of them just yet, they will come in time). Sometimes it will be a big one, sometimes a small one. That’s ok, that’s the way.
 
If you can make a start, do it NOW! ←That’s the IMPORTANT BIT HERE!
Don’t hesitate, don’t procrastinate, don't make an excuse!
Go for a walk.
Draw your cup of coffee. 
Clean that room. 
Smoke that last cigarette.
Make that call.
Do that internet search...
 
NOW.
 
Then tomorrow, decide on the next step and take action.
 
And keep going.
Without doubting.
Without wondering why.
Without believing the little voice in your head that wants to sabotage your efforts.
Go!

Believe.

Remember why you want to do that thing you want to do. And start doing it.
Don’t stop.

Make it a habit.
From now on.
