Stop Waiting — Start Moving From Excitement

People have told me many things over the years, but recently I noticed a repeating theme. One person said, “I’m waiting for better times.” Another said, “I’m so tired of waiting.” And yesterday I had someone in an online meeting who kept me waiting for more than fifteen minutes.
It struck me how normal waiting has become. We treat it almost like a personal development strategy — as if the universe will reward us if we just stay still long enough.

But let me be direct: waiting does not fit a conscious creator.

Why not?

A conscious creator acts from passion, from what feels alive right now. You make conscious choices. You move with clarity. You follow the step that carries the most excitement.
Waiting is almost never that step. Because waiting = no action. And your actions are what shape your reality. Nothing changes when you wait. Only your frustration grows.

So what do I mean by “waiting”?

Waiting, in this context, is the belief that if you remain inactive long enough, the result you want will arrive by itself. As if “waiting” is a spiritual method that brings clarity, solutions, or transformation. It isn’t.
It’s simply inaction covered with hope.

What message are you sending the universe?

Many people think that waiting is a sign of trust: “I’ll wait. Life will bring something.” But the real message you send is much clearer: “I don’t believe I influence my reality.” “I hope something outside of me will move things for me.”

Imagine watching someone who is waiting. Do you feel the urge to help? Probably not. Now imagine someone who is taking action — writing, building, learning, connecting. If you know someone who can help them, you will. Because movement attracts support. And that’s exactly how the universe responds.

Waiting is often a hidden form of fear

People rarely say, “I’m afraid.” They say, “I’ll wait until the right moment.” I know this pattern myself. There were conversations I didn’t dare to have. So I told myself I would wait until it “felt better.” But in reality, I was saying: “I don’t trust that I can handle this.”
Waiting feels safer than moving. But it also quietly limits your life.

The illusion of the ‘right moment’

Most people are waiting for a moment that does not exist. The perfect day. The perfect energy. The perfect confidence. But the “right moment” is created by movement, not by delay. The moment you take a step — even a small one — your perception shifts. Possibilities open. Your energy rises. And clarity grows from action, not from pause. The right moment appears after you start, not before.

The woman of 72

In one of my authenticity coach trainings, there was a woman in her 70s who had waited her entire life to start her dream. Beautiful — you are never too old to begin. But the pattern was clear: waiting had become her default. In the roleplays, she had questions she truly wanted to ask but held them back each time. You could see her hesitation. She was waiting for “the ideal moment,” but that moment never arrived on its own.
From the outside, it was easy to see that her authentic self was ready — only her acquired self was holding the brakes.

Waiting is a pattern of the acquired self

Your acquired self waits. Your authentic self moves. Waiting puts responsibility outside of you. And as a conscious creator, you know that your reality emerges from your actions — not from delay. Waiting = “I’m okay with things staying as they are,” even if you’re not.

So what should you do instead?

At any moment, choose the most exciting action you can take. Small or big — it doesn’t matter. Movement shows readiness. Movement invites support. And whatever you think you’re waiting for will appear exactly when it’s right — not because you waited, but because you moved.
