The Google and the Alphabet Inc episode recently got me thinking about the need for vision and the need for a drive to move towards it as soon as we can. If you have a vision and you really want to get it done, it pays to go for the long haul.
Every now and then we meet people who say things along the lines of “I know what I really want to do with my life, but I am starting out so-and-so time”. You might also have met the App Developer who says “I have this grand app ama build soon, but for now I am freelancing and I have 3 apps on the side”.
The reality check is that whether we start moving towards the real thing today or tomorrow or in 10 years time, there will always be resistance, there will always be reasons why you should put it off for another 5 years at the least. On the other hand, it seems things are usually easier when we try them early, using the energy of the morning.
So, therefore I concluded that its best to just say in the words of Richard Branson “Screw it, Let’s do it!” and then dig deep into what you really wanna do. Once you find something you really want to do, something your heart resonates with, wisdom is to drop everything and start moving in that direction. Ignore the nay sayers and just start building out the vision.
Go for long haul, the sooner you get started the better.
