The Objection Paradox

I’ve had a lot of conversations lately where people say one of the following things…

“I don’t have the time right now.”

“Money’s just tight.”

“I need to wait until things calm down.”

And I get it….

Because I’ve said all those things too.

But what I’ve come to realize and maybe this lands for you too…

Sometimes, the thing we use as the reason not to change is often the exact reason we need to.

Is this the problem? OR is it a symptom of the problem?

If you’re saying you don’t have time…

It’s probably because your current situation isn’t built to give you time back.

If you’re saying you don’t have money…

It might be because you’re still in a model that caps your income no matter how hard you work.

I mean this with absolutely no judgment, it’s just reality.

I used to be stuck there too.

Working long hours. Always behind. Never enough white space on the calendar to think clearly.

Telling myself I’d figure it out later…once things “settled down.”

But LIFE keeps LIFE-ING.. And things rarely tend to settle.

Change almost never presents itself at the perfect time.

It shows up when something finally clicks…when you’ve finally had enough tolerating.

When you decide that staying where you are is costing you more than taking the next step.

So if you’ve been sitting on the fence waiting for the schedule to clear or the bank account to magically a different number…

Maybe it’s time to ask a better question…

Is this really bad timing?

Or is this the moment I stop letting my circumstances decide my future?

Something to sit with…
