Focus on the present and everything you can do now instead of worrying about the right situation. Take your first step because the conditions will never be ideal.
You have to start somewhere, so think about the reasons why you can start NOW. Don’t let ‘perfection’ be the enemy of good enough.
Don’t get trapped by idealism, and don’t compromise on your standards. Be satisfied with every small step you make forward, and once you have done it, shun your ego and don’t overblow the results.
