Why Wait?
I saw the new Indiana Jones movie this weekend and there was a great line that really struck a chord with me: “So much of human life is wasted in waiting.”
The reference was not about having to wait in line or wait in traffic but about how too often we are wasting our valuable days waiting for the right time, the right situation, or other such excuses. That’s right, excuses.
If you are waiting before acting take a good hard honest look at your reasons for waiting. Are those reasons just excuses because of fear, laziness or whatever illegitimate reason is holding you back from taking action now?
Don’t wait for life, it doesn’t wait for anyone. Take action today, any action no matter how small, on those things you’ve been waiting for, because the wait is over and it is in your hands to accomplish!
By the way, the wait was over a long time ago. Our goals, dreams, ambitions, whatever they may be, are always in our hands and dependent upon us to do something about them or just let them wither away into the oblivion of what could have been.
