• 1:06
  Speaker 2: me today. We tell ourselves we will start when circumstances
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: are better, but what if that perfect moment never comes?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Today we are talking about stop waiting for the perfect moment.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Here is today's trivia question. which famous American inventor reportedly
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: tried many different materials while developing a practical electric light bulb.
• 1:31

  Speaker 2: Do you know the answer to the trivia question? The
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: question was, which famous American inventor experimented with thousands of
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: materials while developing a practical electric light bulb? The answer
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: is Thomas Edison. Edison and his team tested many different
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: materials before developing a successful, commercially practical, incandescent lighting system.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Imagine if Edison had decided that he needed to know
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: exactly how everything would work before beginning. He might never
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: have gotten started. Life really does get complicated. Responsibilities are real.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Sometimes waiting is the wise thing to do. But there's
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a difference between waiting because something genuinely requires preparation and
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: waiting because we're afraid to begin. And that's where we
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: can get ourselves into trouble. We convince ourselves that one
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: day everything will fall into place. We'll wake up with
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: plenty of energy. Our calendars will be clear. Our finances
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: will be comfortable. Every question will have an answer. And
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: then finally, we'll get started. Well, I hate to disappoint you,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: but if you're waiting for a day when life presents
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: you with absolutely no complications, you might want to pack
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: a lunch. You're going to be waiting a while. So
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: today I encourage you to stop waiting for every circumstance
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to fall into place. Make the phone call. Take the
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: first step. Begin the project. Give yourself a chance. And remember,
• 3:40
