The PERFECT Moment for everything is NOW | Yoga of Immortals | Ishan Shivanand

We often have this habit of procrastinating. We leave tasks to the future and wait for the ‘right time’ or the ‘perfect opportunity’ to do something. For example, I will exercise when the weather is more suitable, I will study for exams when festivals are over, I will #meditate when certain days go by and the workload is done, I will do #selfless service and #volunteering when all my work is finished and so on. We also wait for the ‘perfect person’ in our lives. There is nothing as the perfect person or the perfect relationship. There is no such thing as a right time or a perfect opportunity. Life is in the now. Everything is in the present moment.

Waiting in queues is very painful and tests our patience, right? So, why wait to put your plans in action? Why wait to fulfil your #dreams and #manifest your #goals? Whenever we try to adopt something new, bring about a change in or around us or do something towards a #positive and fruitful outcome, we are often plagued with the words ‘maybe later’, ‘not now’, ‘let this happen, then..’, ‘not the right time’ etc. Let go of toxic people in your life and associate with #positive and happy people who encourage you. How young or old you are, makes no difference when it comes to #achievement. Lacking experience is also not a valid excuse as learning is a continuous process. Limited funds and difficult economic times should also not be deterrents in you inching towards your goals.

It is futile waiting for the perfect moment to do something because life is too short and unpredictable. There will always be roadblocks and different priorities that get in the way. Waiting makes it a passive approach while taking action makes you active and useful. Simply waiting curbs the #learning and #growing process and you regret it later. Acting upon your dreams and goals makes your life more fulfilled, active and exciting. Waiting makes you lose control of your life.
