Stop Waiting!

"Stop waiting". This may seem like a strange statement, especially as a title for one of my blog posts. But it's something I've been thinking about a lot recently. I find that as human beings, we often times push goals and things we seek to accomplish wayy back on our priority lists. And yes, sometimes life gets busy, and we don't have as much time as we'd like to dedicate to our passions and hobbies. But, a quote I read a while back has really changed my mindset on the whole "I just don't have time, I'm too busy" card many of us, including myself oftentimes play. And that is: "every successful person has just as many hours in a day as you do." And I mean- that really is the hard truth. Days aren't longer for those who choose to work on their side hustles, or passions on top of everything else they have going on- these people choose to create time for these things. Because if you have had a goal in mind for a while now, but you just "never get around to working on it," because you "just don't have enough time", ask yourself: what are you dedicating your time too? Let's say you've always wanted to start a YouTube channel, but you have hockey practice for 2 hours a day, and an hour or so of homework. From the time you get home from practice, set guidelines for yourself. Really look at how much time you have, and maybe decide to- instead of going on your phone for two hours, map out ideas for your first couple videos, and make a channel banner. And maybe even set a timer for yourself- an hour and 15 minutes of your night to working on that, and once the timers up, taking your time that you normally use to relax or whatever you choose. Even if you didn't fully accomplish that specific task, you're still taking a small portion of time out of your day to move you forward towards your end goal. <3 This is just a random made-up scenario obviously, but you get the idea.

Because I've found, that we actually do have enough time, it's simply about how we use it...

So ask yourself- what are you dedicating the most of your time to? Are you passionate about that thing? If you are, that's amazing and keep on going! And if you're not quite there yet, that is perfectly okay too :) Take baby steps daily; just little increments of time to furthering yourself on your road towards your end goal. Goals keep us moving forward, they keep us inspired, passionate, and driven. Goals are so important!

Begin your dream life today. You can start slow, but start. Begin. Take yourself seriously. Have some faith in yourself. Move forwards and grow. Watch yourself bloom. <3

So much love for you all!!
