If Not Now, When?

This site is all about finally taking a chance. To finally allowing myself to be vulnerable to criticism, public humiliation, and lord knows what else. But it always strikes me as more than mere coincidence when one commits to something how all sorts of support is revealed. The universe starts talkin’. Support is around us the entire time. The only change is now we are open to receiving and accepting the gifts.

This category will be a forum to share quotes and thoughts that come my way simply by being receptive. So, to start things off I will share two very meaningful passages. The first is a quote from David Cassidy as told to his daughter, Katie. David Cassidy was dying and in his last words he said to his daughter, “So much wasted time”.

The second passage came to me this morning in an email from author James Clear. He puts out a Thursday morning email to subscribers he calls “3-2-1 Thursday by James Clear”. So, this morning I am working this website making little tweaks and I open my email to find his Thursday thoughts. I read this one and I just shake my head…how timely. It goes, “Planning and preparation are useful until they become a form of procrastination. Is this task enhancing my actions or substituting for them?”

The two passages in tandem serve to vividly illustrate the development of this website. I have planned and planned this site for years. I never fully committed to creating the site for any number of reasons. We all know them…no time, no money, won’t be perfect, what do I say, no one wants to read what I have to say anyway so why bother.

No more wasted time; no more procrastination. I finally asked myself, “If not now, when?” As with the other categories, I look forward to sharing thoughts with you and hearing what you have to say. Be well.
