Sometimes our life and work don't go as planned.

We think of the possibilities. We desire to make more money. We want a promotion. We work to move forward.

But, sometimes we get delayed. Life happens. Routines get interrupted. And, we see someone else move forward with our big idea.

The delays aren't just from external circumstances. Delays can happen in our mind because we are fearful, embarrassed, worried, or unsure of ourselves.

Beating yourself up for being "behind schedule" on life and career isn't the best way to propel yourself forward.

Use these time periods that feel like delays to learn about yourself and keep taking the next step.

Then, when your time comes... you won't delay.
