Go on! Start making a list of what you’re waiting for.
Permission?
Validation or confirmation?
Information?
An experience or event?
Cleaning up messy obstacles?
However, sometimes it’s not quite as straightforward as that.
Sometimes, we are waiting for a tipping point to move us from collecting information to acting on that information.
I believe that is why many of us read and read and read. We are searching for that final bit of “a-ha” that pushes us into action. Or maybe that’s what we think we’re searching for.
Often, ideas take time to ripen. And to help them ripen, we continue to read and collect information. This acts like the sunshine and rain to our ideas. They become fleshed out, taking shape and texture and flavour. Then there comes a time where the ideas need to be plucked or else they wither and die.
I think that we often incubate various ideas, reading all the while, and when we viscerally feel an idea to be ripe enough, regardless of what we are reading, we will begin to act on it, and possibly misattribute finally taking action to the text we were reading at the time.
Does this make sense?
