# Chapter 213

Don’t wait. The perfect time will never come. Take action now, even (or maybe especially) if that action is just thinking hard and carefully about the subject. The spoils go to those who take action, not those who are caught in analysis paralysis forever. Get moving. There will never be another moment like this one. This moment is passing away and it will never get you the opportunity that you are being given at this very moment, ever again. This is a unique period in your life, there will never be another just like it. You can’t replicate today in the future. Today is . . . just today and it is special and demands its own actions.

The timing of things is never just right. You have to keep things moving, even if they are just inching forward, and when you look back, you will see a long line of progress, albeit slow sometimes, but a long line of forward motion, don’t wait. This is not to suggest you be reckless and foolish, this is rather to suggest that you keep things hot and moving forward. Waiting serves no one - the kind of waiting that is statistic and moldy indecision and stationary. There is a kind of waiting that comes from wisdom but that is more along the lines of relationships and Christmastime.

The kind of waiting that has no room in our lives is the kind of waiting for the perfect moment, the right timing, enough money, enough time, enough energy, the synergy of the moments, the alignment of the stars, the permission of others, whatever. Take action on your goals, no waiting allowed.
