@grahamcweaver: Two words that quietly end more dreams than failure ever could: “Not now.” Not now becomes next year. Next year becomes never. You don’t need to quit your job. You don’t need a perfect plan. You just need to take the next honest step. Progress beats postponement—every time. What’s one small step you could take to move forward towards the life that you really want? #mindset #goals #motivation #habitsalon
“Not now” = I can’t afford to chase any dreams, I can only afford to survive

This seems a little out of touch. Not now means this is fiscally an irresponsible choice or I can’t afford it, to me.

This is disappointing, Standford. The thing stopping most ppl is finances. I need to first and foremost, survive, before I can be comfortable enough to dream.

I told my advisor that I couldn’t afford to do an internship because I had to work and get paid to pay my bills. He was like look at it as an investment in yourself. My guy, the landlord wont take that in lieu of rent money??

So coming from a Stanford professor, I think you may not hear the individuals alarm bells.. Basic survival, is a priority, it’s hard to see a great future, when you’re living in survival mode..

Not now isn’t always fear. Nobody can afford to be alive right now. Not now usually means they’re not privileged enough to get to doing whatever they’re after because it’s unaffordable .

What's interesting is that you answered your own question of "why not now?" but then just overlooked it. People don't have the financial cushion to cover living costs for more than a month much less enough to to explore things they're interested in.
