24 Jun Don’t Wait Until All Your Ducks Are In A Row!
Way back in 1999, I learned a big lesson, one that has had a profound impact on how I live my life. And this is it:
Life is managed, not cured.
It’s an incredibly important truth to keep in mind when dealing with setbacks.
And it’s also crucial to remember when embarking on a new endeavor or chasing your dreams…particularly if you are one of those people who wait for all your “ducks to be in a row” before taking action!
Waiting for everything to be perfect is usually a losing proposition!
Click above to watch as I explain more in today’s Jacquie Straight Up.
Remember, life is seldom perfect, and when it is, it is usually fleeting!
When you are blindsided with setbacks — big and small — don’t let the discouragement last. Setbacks are a part of life for everyone.
And the truth is, nothing is ever going to be “just right” to do what it is you want to do. Whether that is starting that business, following a dream, or leaving a toxic relationship.
It’s important to strategize. Plan. Be smart. Be responsible. And then just do it anyway.
And never — ever — wait for all those ducks to be in a row…you may well be waiting forever.

And I love hearing from you! In the comments section, be sure to tell me what you’re planning to do — right now — even if your ducks are weaving back and forth. 🙂
Sending love and strength,
Jacquie,

Posted at 14:28h, 24 JuneI would love to move forward and live the life that I’m supposed to but I’ve had alot of set backs like finding a job and daycare for my two young children and after school care.and a van to drive the kids around and affordable insurance. Plus I don’t have any support from my partner.I’m trying to fix all the stuff like my credit and my insurance and finding a job that works with my schedule and both pays for my child care and car costs with something left over to be worth doing.this has been a great sorce of frustration for me

Posted at 13:05h, 25 JuneWow Tara – It sounds like you have some challenges at the moment. My advice to you is to pick one of these things and work on it first. It seems that perhaps the job should come first as that would help with the other stuff. Take major action by blanketing the world with your resume’/CV and then let the Universe guide you. Know that your challenges are strengthening you and preparing you for what you want.
