Begin Today
“We think that the exceptional do things that no one else can do, when really they just do things that no one is doing.”
So writes my new friend Christa over on her blog, Christa in New York. I couldn’t agree with her more. This week, I listened as another friend spoke wistfully of the things she’d like to do one day… and I wanted to shake her and say, “Do them now! Can’t you see? There might not be a tomorrow. Don’t delay your happiness. Go for it now.” Of course, I have an impatient streak, which sometimes leads me to do great, bold things, and other times, leads me to torture myself, bucking repeatedly against the inevitable time a thing takes to grow and evolve.
Still, it’s worth asking yourself: Who is someone you consider extraordinary, and why? What are they doing that makes them stand out for you? What keeps you from doing that thing – or another thing that calls to you? Whether it’s baby steps or big, bold leaps that are called for: the time is now. Begin.
Amanda! How true this is. I’ve learned the hard way that we don’t get to choose whether or not we get a tomorrow. Life is just too unpredictable. If your friend needs some more support to get on her way and do what she wants to do with her life, please send her my direction. :)
Love this new site – adding it to my blogroll!
Thanks Christa! :)
