Waiting on someone or something is a royal pain. Doing it yourself is all fine and dandy if that is how it worked. You can start missions and ideas and advocate, but relying on someone else for completion is like watching paint dry. You are ready, it is go time but yet you sit and wait for .. well the missing puzzle piece I guess. It’s no wonder people give up before they can really start. Gives a different view of finishing what you start. To make a difference in this lifetime you have to be fierce and navigate every obstacle.
It starts with one, I do believe that. You want to change the world, start with you. I have often thought of foundations I would create if there were no obstacles. I have no idea what the obstacles would be, just life has taught me, that there will be. My foundations wait, but what if I took another step, just to see. If that step moves things forward, another step. Wait to see what the obstacles were and ask for help. Ask for help? My mind tells me, ask for help, you no longer guide that idea, it doesn’t belong to you now. If it is truly something that would make a difference, who cares. Are you doing it for recognition or truly making a difference?
You can’t let fear guide you. One step, then another, what can you lose? This is where it ends if you don’t try. How many of us have ideas that lie dormant foiling them before the first step is even taken. I remember talking to my dad about making something.. no clue what it was now but we were excited and talked about patents and making drawings. Back then there was no internet with its savvy tips and guidance to get things done. There was no Dragon’s den to back a solid idea and market new things. I will have to try to remember what it was, but it was the first of many swallowed ideas. Even if your idea isn’t a product, maybe it is a petition, maybe it is fighting for a cause you think is important. Take a step, not baby steps like we talked about in the past but a whole leap of faith, what have you got to lose?
