Right now

Posted on by philipdodson

Life goes by in a blink.

We think it’s too late…it’s all lost.

It’s never too late.

The moment is always now.

We can only ever experience anything now.

Everything that was ever experienced by anyone ever was always now and it always happened because that person took the first step now.

Whatever thing you think about whether inventing fire, the wheel, going to space, curing a disease, making amazing art, writing a book, creating a song…it all was done in the now and it all started with one tiny step by a person who was willing to take a risk, step up and be counted.

We can all start the next experience, it’s never too late, but we can only do it now, not tomorrow.

Whatever you can dream or feel in your soul, you can take the first step towards that right now.

Rebuilding

Rebuilding habits.

Here I am, doing my blog…three days in a row now!!

So what!!

Well, I blogged every single day for 6+ years and then lost the habit.

I’m trying to start it again. Habits are like driving your car. All the effort and fuel is used getting the car from a standstill to a steady speed. Once you reach a steady speed, especially on the open road, then the momentum carries the car along without the need for too much more fuel and energy.

It’s the same with any habit, getting started and building momentum is the hard part.

It’s doubly hard when you stop something after so long to get that started again.

You feel like you have been there and done it.

There is something for me to learn here. Try, if possible, to not stop a good thing once you have it going.

Of course, there are times when we need a break from our routines, some time to freshen up and come back with more energy. That’s what I needed.

However, the longer we leave something, the harder it is to restart. As the amount thinking time increases so does the level of inertia.

Let’s see how it goes…3 days is a start. So I am happy.
