Change

“To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan, and not quite enough time.” —Leonard Bernstein

Good morning! I love this quote because it holds an absolute truth that we often forget. So many times when we long to achieve greatness, we think we have to wait for “the right time.” But the right time never comes. Life doesn’t offer clear plateaus without something pulling us one direction or another. Andy Warhol said, “They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” It is when we commit with a solid plan even though we don’t have quite enough time that we propel ourselves to action. When we give up the myth of that “perfect time,” we propel ourselves toward action.

Your Turn:

How has the myth of the perfect time held you back from achieving your goals? Repeat the quote above several times— let the myth go to propel yourself forward.

Today’s Affirmation:

Any time is the perfect time for change.
