I want to share an idea that changed my life.

It's simple. Almost painfully obvious once you hear it. But it took me years to actually believe it.

The idea comes from Seth Godin, and here's the original article if you want to read it yourself.

But here's the short version:

No one is going to pick you.

Not the perfect client. Not the big break. Not the person who finally sees your potential and hands you the opportunity you've been waiting for.

It's not coming.

The gatekeepers are fading. The old paths (get noticed, get picked, get permission) don't work the way they used to. And waiting for someone to tap you on the shoulder and say "you're ready" is a recipe for dying with your dreams still inside you.

The permission you're looking for? It can only come from one person.

You.

I know this sounds like motivational poster stuff. But sit with it for a second.

How many things have you put off because you were waiting for the "right time"? The right tool? The right amount of money in the bank? The right person to tell you it was okay to start?

I've done it too. For years. And every time I finally stopped waiting and just started, the same thought hit me: "Why didn't I do this sooner?"

The new year is a few days away. You can spend it the same way you spent this one. Or you can pick yourself and build something different.
