I’ll do it later

One day, it comes to an end.

One day, we realise that we have no more chances.

One day, we know that there will not be a tomorrow.

Is today that one day?

Most of us do not know.

So what if this was the last day?

What would you regret not starting?

What would you regret not saying?

Now is our life, not yesterday, not tomorrow. Now is the only moment that we can alter, now is the only moment we can start something, do something, say something.

Our lives are made up of continuous ‘now’ moments, each one a unique moment in time that we can do anything we choose. Or, do nothing.

It is entirely of our own making, every moment of every day for a lifetime. Strung together, it forms what happens in our journey, but they pass immediately into the past never to come back.

The future never happens, as it is that, the future and there are no guarantees for anyone. The future is shaped by what we do now.

10 minutes ago, 1 hour ago, 1 week ago, your entire life to this point, you can not alter, it’s gone.

We can not do everything we want in the ‘now’ moment, we can only do a single thing, but each bit of procrastination, each moment we allow ourselves to say ‘I’ll do it later’ is a ‘now’ moment in our life gone forever.

Later never comes, do whatever you can do, now.

Life is a balancing act

Our lives are a balancing act, we will sway one way and then the other, trying to keep on the rope.

The more we practice balancing the better we get and the less we fall off. But if we don’t start down the rope we never get any good at balancing.

If we want to do our best and achieve our dreams, sooner our later we all have to walk the high wire and one day we’ll feel confident enough to remove the safety net.
