Go for it NOW. The future is promised to no-one.
So said Wayne Dyer, an American philosopher, self-help author, and a motivational speaker. And like many American motivational speakers he was pretty good at getting the attention of his audience and getting straight to the point.
We all have a finite time on this planet. One day that time will end but none of us knows exactly when that day will come. Knowing that, what are you going to do with the time you have left?
You have hopes, dreams and desires inside you. When are you going to get round to fulfilling them? Later, when you're older and tireder? Of course there are a million reasons why you shouldn't - you have bills to pay, work to do and people to care for. But that never stops.
Don't Put Your Dreams on Hold
Right NOW is the only time you can count on. Right now you have the fire. Right now is the only reality you know. The future is an illusion and the past is a memory. So do yourself a favour and start acting on those dreams TODAY.
Steve Jobs, co-founder and visionary of Apple Computer, said it best when he said, "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
Today is your day. Now is your time. Don't look back in five, ten or twenty years from now and regret that you waited so long to go after something that mattered. Or worse still, don't look back with regret that you didn't even try.
