I am still waiting for the right time. The right time to go out
and do as it pleases me, spend all the money as I wish to, visit places that
has been in my wish list for decades and buy things that I have been contemplating
to buy.
In my school days, I couldn’t help thinking that this is not my
time to enjoy. Eagerly awaited college to come. Years passed by, college
happened. I couldn’t help thinking ‘Let
go college, let me have my earning, let me stand up on my feet and be a man. This
ain’t my money.’ Again years passed by, I set myself up for a job. I
eagerly await my loans and credits to get over. I am still waiting.
When I look into the mirror all I see is a lot of difference in
me. I have grown old and tired.
The wait is going to be indefinite, no doubt. But I’m afraid life
is not. Life comes with an invisible expiry date. It’s a limited validity
offer. I feel this lifetime is not enough to enjoy everything in life. They why
not make the best of it from today?
Whenever I hear an excuse from someone to ‘NOT’ do something that
makes him/her happy, I really feel sad. Are they going my way? Will they end up
regretting later? Why have they forgotten to LIVE?
If you think now is not the time and if you plan to wait just
because your mind is not ready, I am sorry to say that you might probably end
up waiting all your life. No one has seen what life has for you tomorrow. Also some
things are best done at a particular age. For example it wouldn't be
particularly wise to skydive or para-glide at 80.
Now is the time to make friends, time to travel the world, time to
help others, time to follow your heart. There will be no better time than now.
There will be no better time than the time when you are healthy, wealthy, wise
and influential. When you take such a decision to follow your heart, every
little thing in life would help you to see you succeed. Take that little risk,
try it out and do something that you really want to.
Many define success in their own terms. I have a couple of definitions
for success too. One of them would be to have memories which bring smile on
your lips and tears in your eyes. The thing that you do today is your memory
for tomorrow.
Waiting for the right time to join guitar classes, wondering how
to get back in shape, can’t wait to skydive, want to learn how to swim? Please
don’t wait. Now is the time. Every journey of 1000 miles starts with a single
step. The most difficult thing in that 1000 mile journey can be that first
single step. That single step may require you to leave your comfort zone. Let
us get up and kick ourselves out of that comfort zone and let’s start today towards
where we want us to be tomorrow.
TODAY IS THAT
DAY & NOW IS THAT TIME!!!
