Act now!

Act now because now is all you have. Too many times, we wait before doing what we know we should be doing.
This is called procrastination. But why do we wait? Is it because of fear? Is it because of laziness? Is it because of a lack of self-confidence?
Whatever the reason, time will not wait for us.

“Forget the past and live in the present hour”
Sarah Knowles Bolton

There is not much you can do about your past. The only thing you can do is learn from it and try not to repeat the same mistakes.
But what if I cannot learn from my past mistakes? First, forgive yourself for not learning the lesson, then pay the price one more time until you sick of learning the same lesson over and over again.
Which lesson are you willing to learn over and over again?

“Life is what happens to you while your busy making other plans”
John Lennon (1940-80) British rock musician

We often say things like, “when I’m older, I’ll do this; if I had more time, I would start this project; when my children are grown up, I’ ll have more time to take care of myself.” If, If, If, when, when, when…are just excuses to test our determination.
When we really care about someone, we do what we must do.
When we really care about something, we become very creative in order to get what we want.
What we can be, we must become, ultimately, it is one of the best ways to be at peace with ourselves.
Stop waiting and Start acting NOW.
What are you waiting for?

“The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware,
joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.”
Henry Miller (1891-1980) US novelist
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
When I am completely aware and living in the NOW, it is easier for me to accept the things as they really are and not as I want them to be. It’s when I’m preoccupied with the potential problems of the future that I lose most of my awareness. This is why it is so important for us to put things in perspective, especially a long-term perspective. If I ask myself questions like the following ones;
What will I think of this particular problem in 1, 5 or 10 years?
How will I feel about this frustration a week from now?
Why am I so annoyed with this person?
How can I keep my calm when I’m stuck in a traffic jam?
Who cares if this stranger is insulting me?
… you can continue with your own questions here.
When we think of it, it is often these petty annoyances that disturb us the most.
After we take the time to answer these questions with a long term perspective in mind, we can start to live in the NOW again, and that improves our quality of life. Awaress is in the NOW .
Why does it take so much time to so many of us to understand this simple reality?
Or if we understand it, why is it so difficult to practice in our own lives?

“Now is the time”
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)
American civil rights leader & Noble prize Prize winner

Martin Luther King died at 39 years of age. When we look at everything he accomplished in such a short period of time,
I think that he fully practiced what he preached. He was totally focused on his task.
What fascinates me is that with so little time, he produced RESULTS that are timeless.
Doesn’t it fascinate you that he accomplished so much in so little time?
How focused are you on YOUR tasks , on YOUR projects, on YOUR life passion?
What will be YOUR legacy?
Do you even care?
