Too often, we waste a lot of time in the planning phase of our lives, without taking actionable steps towards achieving our goals in life.  Sometimes, we think that waiting is what's preparing us for life's journey and the fear of failure can immobilize us to not take any action at all.  We put our lives on pause/hold waiting for the "perfect" time, to do everything...only to later find that there is no such thing as the "perfect" time.  It is perfectly fine to plan, but it is not okay to have a plan without having action items to implement the plan effectively.  Plans cannot manifest without action.  

​

The purpose of life is to live life, while you still have the  breath of life.  So, don't wait to live.  Sometimes, people wait to live and then begin trying later in life to live the life that they wanted to live earlier in life, but kept telling themselves that they didn't have the courage to live the life they want to live, to love the way that they want to love, the money to live the life they want to live, the wisdom to do the things that they want to do...whatever the reason is...they waited.  When we wait to live, we take for granted that we have more time; yet we know that as we get older, we have more years behind us than we do ahead of us.  We take away the opportunity to enjoy the fruit of our labor in it's fullness because we decided to wait to live.  What are we waiting for?  Time is something that you cannot get back, so don't wait to live. 

 

There is a difference between living and existing and coasting through life, without fulfillment.  In 2021, I watched so many people die, before they gave themselves permission to live...so many dreams were buried in the grave with them. Don't let that be you.  Don't just dream, work towards fulfilling your dreams.  Don't wait to live. Don't take for granted that you have more time, because for some, that time is cut way too short and we don't know when our last day will come.  So, live now, love now, make actionable plans now.  If you have to, do it alone.  Do it scared.  Just Live.  Don't wait.  Tomorrow is not promised.  When you rob yourself of living, the time will come when you will wish you lived your life differently and did everything that you really wanted to do.   What are you waiting for?  Don't wait to live...Live, now!  And, don't stop living, until you take your last breath.
