Waiting for a perfect shot

Most of the time we wait for a perfect moment to make things happen. To print our mark on the planet. Truth is, as evidenced by so many succesful characters in history, a perfect moment is just never coming. This means that the wait will only become longer and longer, and then eventually become infinite - a way of life. The time, if a perfect one at all, is NOW.

I pick on this weakness today because I realised that lately, I have just summoned my energies back. Not that they were never there, I just didn't tap into them deeply and consistently. With such energies, focused and robust, I achieve daily some of the things that I just kept putting off for later.

The other thing I realised about rather doing it now, without waiting to be perfectly ready, is that most successful people have made getting-things-done their way of life. Their second nature. It's something that they hold themselves too until it all seems automatic.

Where do you stand in the endeavour to make things happen. To leave your personal mark wherever you interact, wherever you strut?

I choose to make consistent tries to get it done, realistically, 80% of the time.

Star Performers Inc.

Bad performers somewhat have a right, even if not so innate, to perform bad. Repecursions very little unto them since they're use to them. But star performers. Great performers. Geniuses, on the other hand, have a responsibility to keep performing at peak. They can and shouldn't mellow their performance.

It's a responsibility of a committed perform to ensure that a project started on a high note is ended/closed/delivered on a high note. Or may be even a higher note. Once you set your performance benchmark levels higher, then you better haul those sockses higher as well. Always.

It's when a star perform makes the slightest of sloppiness that the world around them notices. It's when a sloppy performer plays a bad, slumbersome note that no one even pays attention or is slightly worried. Because it is expected. In contrast, so is with the star perform: it's expected that you kick ass left right and centre all the time.

So once you start on a good note. Once you adopt a style and approach of one who delivers excellence, then excellence will always be expected of you. You should, in fact, expect, you yourself, excellence out of you all the time. Any time.

I'm going there. I'm getting there. Gimme a bit of time.
