Everybody is looking for a shortcut. Be a great programmer in a short period of time. Become a best-selling author with a book written in two days with no prior experience. Become a millionaire without working on any project, or not having a job at all.

And yet: the overwhelming majority of people who accomplish meaningful things do it the hard way.
Even myself that I am writing this article now. I am trying to forcefully push myself at the edge of my comfort zone and start typing. I have the goal of writing one article per week during 2016, which is intended to improve the quality of my writing. Although, I have this desire for this improvement, not every week am I comfortable to write. If I were to wait for another time hoping to become more motivated to write, it would probably be very rare and chances are that I would not be able to reach my overall outcome: Become really good at writing in English.
Do not wait for a lucky moment
Now that you are reading this, it is likely that there is something important in your to do list that you are delaying to start working on it. You might not feel comfortable to act on it right now, and expect that somehow, in the future it will get easier and then you expect to start working on it. Besides some lucky cases that happen extremely rare, chances are that it will not get easier for you to do it in the future. It is about time when a deadline knocks at your door that awakens in you the necessity to take action that will most probably make it possible for you to finish that task, whether it seems easy or not.
Do not wait for a lucky moment to come and act. Do your important work now.
