You can think of many things that you want to change or
achieve. The problem is, when you set out to do too many
things at once, nothing gets the full attention it needs - and,
in the end, very little is accomplished.
To succeed, you need to set priorities. Choose only one or
two things that you want to achieve. Concentrate your efforts
exclusively on these goals. Very quickly your efficiency will
soar and you will see results.
You cannot know precisely what tomorrow will bring. Yet there is one thing about tomorrow of which you can be certain. You can be sure that tomorrow will be, in many ways, different than today. Things will continue to change, as they always do.
Life itself is a process of change. Night follows day, spring follows winter. Some things grow, while others fade. Styles change, markets change, opinions change, and through it all, life moves forward, changing from day to day. 
When the changes don't go your way, take heart. For even the changes are subject to change, and if you're down, the next change can bring you back up.
Learn to weather the changes, to roll with the punches and to run when the wind is at your back. And as the changes continue to come, you'll move surely and steadily ahead.
The sooner you deal with a problem, the less of a problem it will be. The sooner you act on an opportunity, the more value that opportunity can bring. The time to act is now. The longer you wait, the more you put yourself at a disadvantage.
No matter how far ahead or how far behind you may be, there is always something you can do. Be willing to act sooner rather than later, and your actions will be all the more effective. Stop waiting for conditions to be perfect. Regardless of what the conditions may be, there is some way to start moving positively ahead right now. 
Sure, there are plenty of good excuses for failing to act. Yet they all pale in comparison to the advantage you'll gain by going ahead and getting started. The sooner you act, the better it will be.
