If not now, when?
It struck me one day, as I was dragging myself around, and I felt like I was running on fumes that when I reflected on the way I spent each day, very few moments were reserved for what 'jazzed' me. I was spending 99.8% of my life doing what I thought I should, or what someone else thought I should.
I'm 47 and the last 5 years (to be completely truthful, 10 years) have flown by faster than I could ever anticipate. I see evidence of the passing time in my kids, and in my face, but in my heart and mind those years slipped by me and I can't even say where they went. I think its time to stop saying 'one day' about the experiences I would love to build in my life and begin to take the steps that will make them happen... or I will be lying to myself. If the next 10 or 20 years go by this quickly... my 'one day', will never come for me.
It's time that I stop putting things off for tomorrow, and that I begin to live for today. This is my commitment this year. I will be intentional about living. I will take myself off 'autopilot' and be awake and alive each day for the next year.
