There’s a difference between taking two years to do something and waiting two years for something.

What have you been waiting for?

Do something today — anything — that will bring you one step closer to your goal. Maybe that’s writing an action plan or organizing your thoughts.

If you want to get in shape, go for a walk. If you hate your job, search Monster or nPost for a new one (just not at work!). If you want to get out of debt, put a single dollar towards it. But whatever you do, stop complaining and start acting.
