Where many of us stumble is in embarking upon a personal growth or change journey either before we’re ready or when the time isn’t yet conducive to success. Readiness must be timed with what’s going on around you. These are the two pieces of performance: readiness and optimal timing. So even if you’re ready to change or to grow in fitness, nutrition, stress management, marriage, parenting, or faith, you should look at what’s going on in your world and determine whether you need to either wait a bit or change your approach based on better timing.
