JUST START NOW
Good day, my Hive friends. In the mood of a "new month new plans" thingy...
I have only come to remind you about one or two things about achieving your goals.
And right now, you might want to read the title of this article once more and probably this time aloud and clear!
You see, words of strategies and plans will remain only ideas, not until you put them in action—get started.
Many people are not close to achieving their long-dreamt goals and visions, just because they have not taken the leap of faith to press the "START" button and get running, on the job!
I can do the guesswork of one or two reasons why many people want to stay for years planning for a goal they could have achieved, only if they could try.
PROCRASTINATION
One major enemy of executing projects is the act of procrastination.
"Oh, I just need to complete my BSc degree before I launch my tech company, so I'll be able to focus on one thing at a time."
"Oh, I'll register for the online courses when I'm done with my NYSC one-year programme and besides I don't have all the prerequisites for learning ready."
"Oh, I'll read the book tomorrow. Today, I'm tired and I don't think I can assimilate anything not to talk about getting ideas from this."
There's a very popular statement that procrastination is a thief of time.
And time waits for no one. Tick, tock!
Time is very precious and unfortunately, it might be irrecoverable.
And with procrastination, tomorrow never comes.
A way to beat procrastination is to stop talking about your ideas. Yes, quit talking about your well-structured, mind-blowing and profound ideas! You just have to get started and when? Today.
FEAR OF CONTINUITY
"If I start, do I have all it takes to sustain this idea execution?"
"Will I be able to show up always?"
These questions and many more are in the hearts of many idea-oriented guys! And this is why many wants to spend more time planning before executing.
Of course, I'm not here to downplay the act of maximum planning and strategizing. Planning before execution is strongly advised. Besides, anyone that fails to prepare is preparing to fail. An old bitter truth!
Plan and plan well. But don't take forever. The truth is we can never be ready at once.
Nonetheless, a wise man wrote in one of his articles on Hive and I quote, "don't think you can't continue because you have a long way to go but instead, envision a future of you achieving your dreams in which what ever step you make now would make that future possible."
At some point I had this fear of continuity and when I spoke to a couple of my wise friends, a constant response I got was, "you can never run out of ideas, as long as you keep up with the task and you're doing all that is needed to stay informed and upgraded."
Consistency strengthens continuity and in turn, it births the evolution of your primary stunning ideas.
CONCLUSION
Procrastination and the fear of continuity, I know those two are major. Once you're able to rule them out, you'll find yourself on the pedestal of fulfilling purpose and achieving your goals.
It's March already, fam. And I know you had plans from the beginning of 2022.
You can hit the climax of your goals this year. Very certain.
Do not be afraid to start. Be done with the shenanigans of fear and doubt. Just start!
Go ahead to ace your goals. I'm rooting for me and you!
