How often have you put off doing something uncomfortable and told yourself the timing's just not right? The timing will be better when, if, then, because, after. So you wait. And you wait. And you wait. Did you do what you said you were going to when you got more money, more time, more resources, more stability? More often than not, you probably didn't. Sometimes, bad timing is a legitimate issue. But, equally if not far more often, it's not. Instead, it's an excuse for avoiding the uncertainty of doing something new. It's not based on sound analysis and intelligent exploration, but rather fear and avoidance. Driven largely by the desire to not have to wade from a place of certainty back into the uncertain abyss, even when that place of unknowing is the gateway to stunning possibility. That's what today's Good Life Project Riff is all about. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Today's episode is brought to you by Camp GLP.

  • What is it?

  • Well, we're taking over an amazing sleepaway camp about 90 minutes outside of New York City at the end of August.

  • It'll be an incredible blend of about 350 entrepreneurs, makers, world shakers, and just regular people looking to connect, to hang out, to rejuvenate, to restore, and to learn together, literally, from around the globe.

  • If that feels like a pretty cool place to be at the end of August, then go ahead and check out the details@goodlifeproject.com.

  • kemp onto our show.

  • We'Re circling back to our lies that keep us from success series.

  • And this is number three.

  • And if you haven't heard number two, then just jump back in our podcast and you can hear them.

  • What we're talking about today is a lie that we tell ourselves very often, and it stops us from doing things that make us uncomfortable but also hold the possibility for the extraordinary.

  • What is that lie?

  • Hmm.

  • The timing's just not right.

  • So I've heard this a number of times, but I've also said this probably way more often than I've heard it.

  • And it's the lament of so many people where you're just waiting for the universe to line up perfectly.

  • And it happens in nearly every part of life.

  • So when it comes to the job, well, you're like, it's the perfect job, but the timing's just not right.

  • It's the perfect house, but the timing's just not right.

  • If we wait another year, it'll be better.

  • It's the perfect person, but, ah, the timing's just not right.
