“NOW” is Better

As I am getting over a short cold, a thought crossed my mind last night and it followed me into today. I drank my protein shake, drank some water, had some time to reflect and there it was. That thought. It was stalking me. I guess that’s a good indicator to write it out. So here we are.

Welcome!!

The statement that came to mind was this:

“Now is just going to keep coming until you do it.”

Take a moment, like I did, and think about that. For the sake of time, let’s take 10 seconds and see how many times you can snap your fingers.

Every snap represents NOW.

Did you see how many times NOW came and went? It was a lot in just 10 seconds. What happens when we put it off until tomorrow? Momentum is lost.

See, I was never an impulsive person. I like to calculate things out. Measure two or three times before I cut once. Slowly. But some things need to be acted upon immediately. Some things need to be started when you think about it. That first step is important.

Now is a gift that we often overlook when we’re focused on what isn’t or what someone else has. We have to get used to taking immediate action. It could be something really easy, like flushing out the idea in writing or more complex like getting a team together.

When I wrote my first e-book, I had already written out some of the concepts I wanted to share and did nothing with it. It wasn’t until I got pissed off that I actually sat down, wrote it, structured it, designed it, and put it out there. I’m still working out getting used to advertising that it’s available, but it’s done.

Now is just going to keep coming until you do it, so do it now.

How many times have we put things off for later instead of just taking some time and doing it now? If you’re like me, it’s way more often than you’d like. But that can change right now.

Let’s stop accepting failure for ourselves. Let’s stop making excuses. Let’s make the time to finish the project. You never know who it will reach or who’s life will be transformed by it.

The gift you possess is not yours. You just possess it. It’s meant to be shared with others.

Tomorrow is too many NOWs from now.

Now is better.

love you.
