The payoff of living in the past or the future is you never have to do your work in the present.
The sure sign of a wannabe is s/he has a million plans and they all start tomorrow. I encourage you to take a moment right now, to consider this: are you waiting to receive permission from some omnipotent other – your spouse, your parent, your boss, an authority figure, to take action, to heed to your calling, and do what you know you need to do?
The fastest path to writing your book is to write. The quickest shortcut to creating your product? You guessed it. Create. You don’t need anyone’s permission to do that.
Sitting on a stool waiting to be discovered is a dream that resistance adores. Of course you’ll be discovered. That can’t be helped. You have a message inside that needs to come out and touch the lives of many.
Here’s the thing. The unique role that you play on this planet, your unique mission, your soul signature that dreams through you, knocks on the door in the dark, cannot be invented, it can only be detected. Once identified, it will guide you to your next steps. Better yet, it will sustain you all the way to the finish line.
