If you know, deep in your gut, that you were built for more than where you’re at…do yourself the favor of finding out.
There are a lot of people walking around with a nagging sense in the back of their mind. “What if I had tried to….start that company, moved for the job, give that idea or initiative a shot, or even asked that person out on a date…”
If you are walking around wondering “What if,” it’s time to think about the *How.*
Pivot your thinking.
Instead of focusing on what “could have been,” start thinking about how you can integrate the next steps from where you sit today. It doesn’t have to be dramatic or all at once. It can be planful, intentional, or strategic. Regardless: What would those next steps be?
Most people will try to avoid it and give up altogether…but if you’re reading this, there is a part of you that doesn’t want to be like most people.
Pivot from “What if” to “How will I do that” this weekend take an action that gets you one step closer to something you’ve really been thinking about.
No more “What ifs.” Find a way to start.
1. Believe in a reality of your own making.
2. “Where you are optimistic, there is always opportunity.” The story of Jack Ma is filled with incredible life lessons and an inspiration you don’t want to miss.
3. Doubt is a killer.
4. You are your own green light, and it’s time to *go*.
