We’ve been sold a lie.
That waiting is noble. That patience is passive. That if you just sit still long enough, life will eventually hand you what you want.
Wrong.
Waiting does not give you permission to do nothing.
In this episode, I break down why it’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war. Because even when you're not “in the fight”… preparation is still the mission.
Think about it:
- You’re stuck on a goal? You can still sharpen your skills.
- Conditions aren’t ideal? You can still build systems.
- You’re not sure what to do next? You can still evaluate your resources and your time.
Too many people sit in a fog of “someday” and convince themselves they’re being patient… when really, they’re just stuck.
Here’s the truth. Progress doesn’t always mean action. But it never means inaction.
Use the quiet moments to train.
To plan.
To build a better version of yourself so that when the opportunity does show up, you’re not scrambling… you’re ready.
Listen in and stop letting “waiting” become your excuse to waste time.
