The Myth of The Perfect Time

Waiting for the perfect time is often what keeps us stuck. What remains is the choice to begin.

The Myth of the Perfect Time

We wait for the right time.

When work slows down.

When the kids are older.

When the market settles.

When we finally feel ready.

But the truth is: there is no perfect time.

There is only your time — and it begins the moment you decide to act.

Why We Keep Waiting

Waiting feels safe.

It gives us the illusion of control.

We tell ourselves, “Once everything aligns, then I’ll move.”

But life rarely aligns.

The promotion arrives the same week a parent falls ill.

The “quiet month” fills with meetings.

The moment you feel ready, fear whispers louder.

It’s not timing that holds us back, it’s hesitation dressed as preparation.

The Window That Does Exist

There’s a quiet space between endings and beginnings —the Neutral Zone that William Bridges described so beautifully.

It feels uncertain, uncomfortable, and full of possibility.

That’s the real window of opportunity, the space where the old is fading and the new hasn’t yet solidified.

If you can resist the urge to rush through it, that window will change everything.

Because clarity rarely comes before action. It arrives through it.

The Science of Now

Research on behavioural change shows that momentum builds when you take one small, visible step - not when you plan endlessly.

Waiting drains energy. Movement generates it.

So if you’re telling yourself, “I’ll start in six months,”  ask what tiny action you could take today.

Even small forward motion interrupts inertia.

The Courage to Begin Before You Feel Ready

Courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s the decision that something else matters more.

When you start before you feel ready, you give yourself the gift of momentum.

You learn as you go.

You grow into readiness.

Perfection is a delay tactic.

Progress is liberation.

Your Future Self Is Waiting at the Window

Imagine your future self a year from now , standing on the other side of this window.

What would she thank you for starting today?

Sometimes the smallest step across the threshold is the one that changes everything.
