Let’s cut to the chase: there will never be a perfect time to do something big. There’s always going to be some excuse lurking around the corner, telling you to wait. But here’s the truth: the best time to do something significant is wedged right between yesterday’s regrets and tomorrow’s what-ifs. It’s now. Right now.
You’ve probably felt that inner nudge, haven’t you? That voice in your head whispering (or maybe yelling), “It’s time to switch things up.” But then, like clockwork, here comes the counterargument: I’m too busy. I’ll start next week. Things need to calm down first. Sound familiar? Spoiler alert: calm doesn’t come. And next week? She’s busy too.
Let’s talk about why NOW is the moment you’ve been waiting for.
Excuses Are So Last Year
Raise your hand if you’ve ever found yourself tangled in the web of excuses. (Yep, guilty.) “I don’t have the time.” “I’ll wait until I feel more ready.” “What if I mess it up?” Listen, nobody feels 100% ready to tackle the big stuff. The timing will never be flawless, the circumstances never just right. The only thing waiting around does is stretch the distance between you and the life you’re dreaming about.
Here’s a little secret: action kills excuses. The moment you start moving—even if it’s messy and awkward—those excuses lose their grip.
Spoiler Alert: Perfect Timing Isn’t a Thing
Let’s bust the myth of perfect timing once and for all. We tell ourselves we’ll start once everything aligns—when we have more money, energy, or clarity. Guess what? Life doesn’t care about your spreadsheet of ideal conditions.
Waiting for perfection is like waiting for the Wi-Fi to get faster during a Zoom call. It’s frustrating, pointless, and slows everything down. Progress happens when you make it happen, not when the universe rolls out a red carpet.
The Power of Starting Small
Here’s the deal: you don’t have to change your whole life overnight. That’s overwhelming, and honestly, nobody’s got the energy for that. What you can do is take one small step today. Then another tomorrow.
Want to feel healthier? Swap that soda for water at lunch. Thinking about a career pivot? Spend 10 minutes updating your LinkedIn. Tiny actions add up in massive ways, and before you know it, you’ve got momentum on your side.

Uncertainty? Let’s Rebrand It
Here’s a wild thought: what if uncertainty wasn’t the villain? What if it was the adventure? Every major win in life—every job, relationship, or epic moment—comes with a healthy dose of what the heck am I doing? That’s not a bad thing. It’s the price of admission for growth.
Think of uncertainty as your personal trainer. It’s pushing you, stretching you, getting you out of your comfort zone. And yeah, it’s uncomfortable, but you’re building something stronger in the process: a life you’re obsessed with.
Progress > Perfection
Let’s be clear: you’re not aiming for perfect. Perfection is boring. Progress? That’s where the magic happens.
You’ll stumble. There will be days when you question the whole thing. That’s normal. But every little win—no matter how small—adds fuel to your fire. Got out of bed 10 minutes earlier to work on your goals? Win. Chose veggies over fries once this week? Win. Took a deep breath before snapping at your coworker? Huge win.
Celebrate every step forward, no matter how tiny. They all count.
What If You Said Yes to Now?
Here’s a fun mental exercise: imagine what your life could look like six months from now if you started today. Like, actually started.
Would you feel more confident? More energized? More in control? It doesn’t matter what your “thing” is—starting a new project, focusing on your health, or making space for what really matters. The point is, future you will thank current you for taking that first step.
And hey, even if you don’t have the whole plan figured out, that’s fine. You’re not writing an instruction manual; you’re living a life.
Let’s Do This
The best time to make a change? It’s not tomorrow or next week. It’s not “someday.” It’s now. Right here. Right this second.
So whatever that thing is—the one that’s been nagging at you, whispering in your ear—it’s time to start. Take the first step. Then another. You’ll figure out the rest along the way.
Because honestly? Waiting is overrated. And you? You’re way too awesome to let another day slip by without going after what you want.
