There has to come a time when it's now or never.

Well, you look at your reflection and realize that the cost of waiting is far more expensive than the cost

of stepping out into the vast unknown. In every journey, that's when life effectively starts.

But here's why this is so tricky.

What's caught me off guard so many times in my life,

it's the many shapes that wading takes.

See, waiting is not always sitting there

and doing nothing, not at all.

Sometimes, waiting is just the bare minimum.

It's moving forward so slightly and so slowly that you can essentially trick yourself into thinking that you're progressing, into thinking you're making it happen.

When, if you really stopped and looked,

if you were honest with yourself,

if you really took a second to review, to analyze,

you'd see that you're leaving almost everything on the table.

You're not creating progress.

You're dancing with the idea of progress.

Sometimes waiting can mean just going fast enough

to not have to look at the fear you're hiding behind.

It's reality, right?

I think it's a very normal thing, but I also think life is too short for normalcy.

I think we can do better than normal.

And I believe with all my heart and soul that the world has for us the spectacular.
