Sometimes There is Never a ‘Right Time’

For some things in life there just isn’t a “right time” to act.

The lack of a “right time” to act normally occurs with things we care about but that we feel blocked from doing. We feel difficulty in motivating ourselves to get up and do that thing.

Waiting for the right time in every situation in your life could be a bad decision. The idea that “if I wait long enough, there will be a right time to act” might just make you miss a lot of opportunities.

Sometimes the right time is the time that you act merely because its when you act and not because you found some arbitrarily “right” time.

As someone who strives to always have the right timing in life, I do not state lightly the idea that there are things that appear to not have a right time.

I would love to always be able to find the right timing but I don’t think that’s possible all the time.

I challenge you to think about something in your life that you are putting off while waiting for the “right time” when you can’t even envision what that right time might be.

I challenge you to just act now and see what happens. Perhaps the right time is the time that you act and not some magical time down the road.
