Stop Waiting!

I loved yesterday's reading. It was exactly what I needed to read and ponder.  It was all about taking action NOW, not later.  My life will never be steady and calm.  There is rarely a "right" time, and certainly never a "perfect" time.  I can make excuses about what I am waiting for, but they are just that - excuses.  The truth is, I have everything I need to live my best life right now, because I am alive. That's it!  I breathe and I am living, and those are the only tools I really need.  Everything else is just gravy.

Waiting for tomorrow to do what I really want to do, or need to do, is silly.  Tomorrow never comes...there is only today.  I have to start living, really living, right now.

We can stop waiting for life to become perfect and start working with what we've got to make it as satisfying as we can.  We can accept, bless, give thanks, and get going. Today we can begin to call forth the riches from our everyday life.  Today we can move from lack to abundance. - Sarah Ban Breathnach

Today, today, today!  I am going to do something that will make me happy today.  I'm going to do something that I have been putting off.  This is life, this is my stage.  I only get this one chance to do it right and make the most of each moment.  Most of us are acting as if this life is only the dress rehearsal. 

It's not. 

What am I waiting for?  I have the power to create something amazing of myself and my life.  I really, really do!  I know this, but I need to live like I know it...

If you everyday life seems poor, don't blame it; blame yourself; admit to yourself that you are not enough of a poet to call forth its riches; because for the creator there is not poverty and no poor indifferent place. - Rainer Maria Rilke
