what do you have to lose?
What do you have to lose?
Seriously, the thing you’ve been thinking about, planning for, and procrastinating on, what do you have to lose by actually doing it?
Probably very little.
Maybe a little time.
Maybe a little money.
Maybe a little ego or pride.
But you have so much to gain.
Maybe a little knowledge.
Maybe some new experiences.
Maybe a brand new path towards your authentic life.
It’s not easy for everyone to take that “risk” to try something new, and it wasn’t always easy for me. But the more I explored my curiosity, pursued my passions, and tried the things I wanted to try, the easier it became.
Now I can quickly determine whether something is worth trying, do it, and learn if it’s meant to be more in my life or just another learning experience.
The time spent was enjoyed.
The money, which is usually little, was an investment in me.
The ego didn’t take a hit because I wasn’t doing it for anyone other than my Self.
Usually, the first step towards doing that thing you’ve been thinking about is minor–it’s a step in a new direction to experience a different version of your Self. It’s not until you get further down that path that you come to the bigger investments of time and money. If you reach this point, then it’s time to carefully analyze and plan to see if a larger commitment is warranted. But, you won’t get to this point immediately, so don’t let it keep you from exploring. If you’re like me, many of your explorations will be short-lived, minimal investments of time and money, and extremely valuable in the lessons learned.
So take the first step towards actually doing the thing you’ve been thinking about, planning for, and procrastinating on.
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
JC
