Wait… Never!
A better life, Blogging 101, Business, My Goals, Short Thoughts, Your Best Self Add commentsIn 2006 I planned to begin Tomorrow. Every morning I would wake up, only to find Today.
So I waited.
In 2006 I was frustrated with what I didn’t accomplish Yesterday. I tried to get back, but every morning I would wake up and only find Today.
So I waited.
In 2006 I wanted to know everything before I started. There was always more to learn.
So I waited.
In 2006 I waited for the perfect moment. It was always lacking.
So I waited.
In 2006 I feared change and failure.
So I waited.
At the end of 2006 I realized that Tomorrow and Yesterday are out of my reach. I only have Today. That there will always be more to learn, that the only one perfect moment is now, and fear is powerful when we embrace it.
In 2007.
I stopped waiting.

Yup, like it. I’m including it on a top five list of mine from this group writing project. I’d love you to check that out when you have time. You can probably clarify a few things for me in a comment.
Good job. RSS added to my reader.

[…] Wait…Never - Must heed advice from Robert. You only have today. Today is the day to begin. The best thing that I did in 2006 was start writing in this blog. First once a week, then once a day. I finally started living on purpose by heeding the advice in this post. […]

What are you waiting for?…
Does procrastination get us anywhere? Are we satisfied with what we’ve always done? Did we maximize our potential in 2006? The obvious answer for most of us is NO!
Do we really believe we can achieve whatever we set our mind to? Do we reall…
