One Madness Ends, Another Begins
It's here, guys! Tomorrow is the big day. The election will be over soon. After tomorrow, the madness will finally end. Yay! We can all celebrate and get back to normal. Or can we?
The unfortunate truth is that every time one madness ends, another begins. That's just the way of our world. There's always something. Something to be mad about. Something to upset us. Something to distract us. Something to divert our attention. Something to tire us. Some of these things will be genuine, while others will be manufactured. But regardless of what it is or how real it is, it's coming. One madness will end, and another begin.
Here's our problem. We often postpone the things we need to do - and want to do - until after the madness ends. The timing isn't ideal; there are too many unknowns. Thus, we'll just wait. After xyz happens, it will be better. Once that thing is over, life will get back to "normal." Maybe then will be a good time to start that thing we really want to do! Oh wait, once one madness ends, another begins.
Yes, this election is going to be over soon (thankfully!). But the next version of madness is just around the corner. We can keep kicking the can on our dreams, goals, and aspirations, or we can simply get to work. Don't wait for the madness to end.....because it won't.
To the family waiting until they have a little more discretionary income to begin paying off debt, just start.
To the family waiting until “things don’t feel so weird” to begin investing, just start.
To the family waiting for their income to feel more stable to begin giving, just start.
To the family trying to hoard as much money as possible before “retiring” into work that actually matters, just go.
To the person waiting until the timing is “just right” to launch their business, just start.
This is me walking to the mound and placing the ball in your glove. Let's go!
