Article One

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR"
by Dorene Lehavi, PhD

Do you have a goal, a dream, or just an idea that you'd like to try out? What are you waiting for?

Are you procrastinating because you believe that there are some things you need to accomplish before you can do it? Ok, if it has a high financial cost to it and you don't have the funds now...it is probably wise to put it on a back burner. However, even with that you could create a plan of action to start saving for it right now.

But what about that project, job or career change, or just bumping up to the next level? What about that hobby or research you have been wanting to do or something off the beaten path of your present life that you want to learn. What is keeping you from jumping in?

Take some quiet time and ask yourself...what truly is keeping you back, keeping you procrastinating? Do you feel you are not good enough, do not know enough? Do you feel that other experts out there overshadow you? Do you believe you have plenty of time to do it later?

My advice to you is that you will never feel ready or sure that you know enough.. None of this should keep you from starting...in fact just jump in. Everyone who is an expert started at the beginning and the learning comes from the doing and the expertise comes from the experience. Few people are the ultimate best, but your goals can go from good enough to excellent, better and best. The value of doing it and the excitement are in the journey, not the goal. If it is something that is of interest to you, most likely you already know more about it than the average person.

I can relate it to my experience in the ballroom dance field. In middle age, I was no dancer. I began to take lessons with an excellent teacher who required excellence as a goal. I eventually became a very good dancer with even a high level of technical knowledge.. But if I compared myself to the 20 year old competitors I would never feel great. I compared myself to myself. I started with two left feet and achieved gold level.

I also noticed the difference in teachers. Some were at levels that their students surpassed. Others were champions whose level gave their students a lot to aspire to. Each had their own mode of teaching. Was one better than the other? Yes, of course. One's style worked for some and not for others, even at the championship level. Should any of them not be dancing or teaching because they weren't THE expert or THE best? No, of course not. Everyone brings their own unique way of doing whatever it is they do and love to do...

And the same principle applies to you. So if there is something you've been wanting to do, dreaming of, but putting off because you feel you are not expert enough, put that aside. Get moving. Life is short. Don't reach age 90 looking back to say I wish I had done that.
