All the joy and passion you can envision can be yours right now, rather than in a future point in time.
The time we are blessed with is limited and tends to be used up
all too quickly. How we utilize that time is consequently one of the most
important decisions we make. Yet it is far too easy to put off until tomorrow
what we are dreaming of today. The hectic pace of modern existence affords us
an easy out; we shelve our aspirations so we can cope more effectively with
the challenges of the present, ostensibly to have more time and leisure to
realize our purpose in the future. Or we tell ourselves that we will chase
our dreams someday once we have accomplished other lesser goals. In truth, it
is our fear that keeps us from seeking fulfillment in the here and
now--because we view failure as a possibility, our reasons for delaying our
inevitable success seem sound and rational. If we ask ourselves what we are
really waiting for, however, we discover that there is no truly compelling
reason why we should put off the pursuit of the dreams that sustain us.
When regarded as a question, "Why not now?" drains us of our power to realize our ambitions. We are so concerned with the notion that we are somehow undeserving of happiness that we cannot see that there is much we can do in the present to begin courting it. Yet when we look decisively at our existence and state, "Why not now, indeed!" we are empowered to begin changing our lives this very moment. We procrastinate for many reasons, from a perceived lack of time to a legitimate lack of self-belief, but the truth of the matter is that there is no time like the present and no time but the present. Whatever we aim to accomplish, we will achieve it more quickly and with a greater degree of efficiency when we seize the day and make the most of the resources we have at our disposal presently. All the joy, passion, and contentment you can envision can be yours right now, rather than in some far-flung point in time. You need only remind yourself that there is nothing standing between you and fulfillment. If you decide that today is the day you will take your destiny into your hands, you will soon discover that you hold the keys of fate. |
