It’s never the right time…

…to go on a trip.

…to be away.

…for work to do that.

…for family to do this.

…to start a project.

…to leave the project.

…for people to come over.

…to go out.

…to finish later.

…to leave early.

…to start.

…to stop.

So don’t wait.

It will never be the right time.

You can learn from experience.

Sure.

You will make mistakes.

Work it out eventually.

Find out what not to do.

Incrementally get better.

Or you can learn from the experience of others.

Experience that has gone before you.

They have made the mistakes.

They know what to point out.

They can pass on the knacks.

Learning can be accelerated.

Sure, you can learn from experience…or…you can learn from the experienced!

“Is there anyone so wise as to learn by the experience of others?” – Voltaire

Okay…so you failed.

What can you take away from the failure?

Where is the success within the failure?

The learning of something new.

The creation of a new process.

The expansion of your network.

The accumulation of knowledge.

The development of a new skill.

The refinement of an existing skill.

The stepping out of your comfort zone.

The gaining of expertise.

The building of resilience.

The inspiration for another idea.

You may not have achieved the result you were after.

But you can still achieve a positive result.

Dissect the failure for successes within.

Your decisions have got you to here.

The various dots and connections.

Your dots connect to create the current picture that is you.

The decisions made.

The actions taken.

The choices.

The behaviours.

Be they good or bad.

These all form a picture.

A picture of you.

If you’re not liking how the dots connect to form your picture…

…then start creating different dots.
