If you’ve been waiting to commit to something, but have yet to start, our only question to you is, “Why?”

Life is short. Really short.

Unfortunately, most people spend the majority of it wishing for it to change but not willing to action on those dreams or mail in their potential and never truly find out what their limits are.

We find ourselves living in limbo where we’re scared to “die” (or, in other words, fail) but unwilling to risk finding out what “living” really feels like.

Questions to Ask Yourself

First, we think it’s selfish, or that we’ll lose “everything”; our questions back to that sentiment are these:

What is the opportunity cost of NOT following your calling?

How about the opportunity cost of NOT taking that risk?

And the opportunity cost of NOT going after what you want?

Are you afraid to fail? Good. That means you care.

Emotionless monotony that stems from repeating a half-ass job you hate for 40 years sounds like the worst option, to be honest.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

– Teddy Roosevelt

Time to Commit

All in all, it’s time to stop sitting on the sidelines. It’s time to stop complaining about things you can control (and everything in general, really). And, it’s time you stop procrastinating on getting started.

Guess what? Everyone that has ever put their reputation, business, money, time, or effort on the line has been fearful of doing so. Those who are successful, however, deal with that fear in a healthy way and push forward, making their mark on the world and making an impact while doing so.

We’ll ask again — what are you waiting for?

Today is the best day ever. Strive valiantly.
