This time next week I’ll be in Ireland for a three-week trip with my parents. They’re on either side of 80, and if I don’t do this now, with them, I might never be able to do it.

Yes, it’s going to be dreadfully expensive. Yes, I can’t really afford the time. Yes, it’s scary and stressful and a hassle. (I hate flying, and this trip will involve three flights and over 18 hours of travel time.) But sometimes there comes a time when you just can’t wait for the conditions to be perfect, or you’ll never do it. You just have to bite the bullet and go for it anyway.

What have you been putting off until the time was right and the conditions favorable? Take out that dream or idea and dust it off. Don’t wait too much longer—because the time will never be right, and the conditions will never be favorable unless you make them so. And you make them so by just deciding to do it anyway.
