Are you waiting for death to begin to live. There are many stories out there on people who’ve been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and then saw the wisdom of living full. Any awakening is a good one, but why should you wait?
The following outlines what is essential in combating inaction before eternity calls:
- Are you thinking you should should start that business? Then write it down, get some insight and begin.
- Is having fun important? Then start, resume or increase what is fun.
- Should you start taking better care of your body? Then start exercising, eating healthy, etc.
- Have you forgotten to tell somebody what they mean to you? Then pick up the phone, send the email or go visit them.
- Are you thinking you’ve got time? Then stop, because no one has as much time as they think they do.
