Let’s get straight to the point…we all have a finite amount of time on this planet. One day our work will be done here on earth, and no one has a crystal ball to notify us when exactly that day will come.
Knowing that, what are you going to do with the remaining, rare, and precious moments you have?
What hopes and dreams do you have for your career? When are you going to work towards achieving them? Later, when you’re older and more tired?
Of course, there are a million reasons why you shouldn’t…you have commitments, bills to pay, and a family to care for. Guess what…that never stops.
RIGHT NOW is the only time that you can count on. RIGHT NOW you have the fire and the drive, so do yourself a favor and get moving towards achieving those career dreams today.
Steve Jobs, co-founder and visionary of Apple Computer, said it best when he said, “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Today is your day. Now is your time. When it comes to your career, don’t look back 5, 10, or 20 years from now regretting that you waited too long to go after something that mattered – or worse yet…that you didn’t even try.
What will you do now? Don’t keep putting it until tomorrow.
