A good amount of us went with what we were taught and followed the order to a fault. At this time, this is what you will do, and then by the time you will be this and this old, you will do that. But after getting your feet wet you realize that life, itself doesn’t function like that. No, it has no respect for you at all. Time flies by so fast even superman can only dream of going at that speed. One day you wake up see 30,40, or even 50 a birthday away.

Waiting for the right conditions or saying that the perfect conditions have passed put simply is making excuses for why you won’t or can’t do something. Deep down you probably know that too.

I am not smart enough to build this business or I am too old to pursue this dream, this isn’t the time to change careers or go back to school, and so on…

The right conditions are rarely there, it is pointless waiting for them to be there. Especially when there are so many unknowns in the future. You better off trying to pick the perfect stock. Good luck with that.

Hoping that some things are waiting for you to set a specific way is a far stretch. Maybe it is there but there is a chance that it isn’t. Do it now, but also give it your best.
