Each time we usher into a new month, we pause and reflect on the highs and lows of the past period. We realize that we have been privileged to see new days. With each new day, there were new opportunities to transform our spaces and the world. We have a myriad of dreams and goals. Both big and small. Many people wait until a new month or new year comes to make moves. Why? The epidemic of “not enough”.

There is not enough money to start the business, much less the business plan. There is not enough support from friends and family. There is not enough time to dedicate to a particular venture. We also feel like we are not enough.  We are not smart enough. We are not wise enough. We are not influential enough. We don’t speak well enough. We opt to wait on the perfect time and when we have things together to start something new.

News flash: there will never be a perfect time. Never…

There will never be a perfect moment to get everything in place. We must make a start. Now would be the opportune time. When we delay pursuing our goals and dreams, we risk not pursuing them at all. We should get things in order one step at a time and consistently. It is best to start now than to live in regret for the rest of your life. Never let fear hold you back from taking a step in the right direction. 

Friend, start something new now. Please don’t delay. Do it today. At least, jot down your plans, pray about them, and conduct minor research if necessary. Start writing your book. Start your blog. Start your podcast. Go to the gym. Apply for that job. Invest in a company. Go to church. Give your life to Jesus. You will be happy you did. Life’s too short to be living with regrets.

By the way, you are enough. Let no one tell you otherwise.
