Im guilty. Yes I am! And so are you. Im guilty, for waiting for the perfect time. Have you ever waited for the perfect time to tell a family member or friend just how much they mean to you? Just how much you love & admire them? Just how awesome they are? I know I have & no doubt so have you! Days, weeks & sometimes months go by, all waiting for that perfect moment. Meanwhile, that person may also be waiting....waiting to receive those encouraging words or to feel that love wrapped around them, or a hug & very likely more than you ever knew what theyre waiting on. Ive lost too many friends to suicide! I dont want to lose any more.... You never know what someone is going through inside. Our words & actions can make all the difference.... if only we take time out & deliver them. But so many times, we wait. We assume they know. Or we brush it off as unimportant. WHY? And then theres another reality. We are blessed with only so many days on this earth. I want the people in my life to know how important they are to me while theyre here - WHEN IT COUNTS! So many times we wish we would have expressed more love, support, & encouragement only after its too late. Ive learned that Life can be fragile. How many times have you said: Ill call when Im less busy.... Ill get together with them when things calm down.... Ill make more time for my kids when Im not so swamped with work.... Excuses! Justifications. Call it whatever you want! Many times at the expense of those who love & need us most. Have you put off starting important projects because the timing wasnt perfect? Its something Ive often done. The things that We know will have the biggest impact sometimes get put on the back burner far too long. How many times have you said: When my schedule is clear, Ill start that. In reality, our schedule is never clear. Soooo start the big projects today. Break out the pen & paper & start writing. Just start. Have you put off prioritizing your nutrition & your health until tomorrow or until Monday? Yea I know, Ive been there, too. I started taking care of mine already, when will you? Every day, more & more people will begin a diet tomorrow. Thousands more will start exercising on Monday. Of course, today is bad timing....after all, theres that dinner tonight. And oh yeah, company coming over tomorrow. In 2 weeks, its vacation.... might as well wait until youre back. Yea right! You see, the reality is that with how busy we all are, there is never a perfect time. In this day & age, schedules are jam packed, always will be. How long are you gonna let that consume you, your family & your health? Dont! Change comes by starting. Now. Today. It will never be the perfect time. Trust me! Circumstances will never be ideal. Just dig your feet in & begin. Tomorrow never comes! Tell that person you love them. TODAY! Carve out 1 minute to send them a warm & loving text message. Make that phone call. Schedule time to get together. Theres nothing more important in life than your relationships & guess what? You never know just how badly someone may need the love & support that only you can provide. Start your healthy nutrition plan today. It doesnt have to be perfect; just start. You owe it to yourself, & your family. Dont wait 1 more day hoping for the ideal set of circumstances or the ideal situation. It wont come, because unless you lock yourself away in solitude, it doesnt exist. You HAVE to start today. You MUST begin now. Put that cake/cookies down! Otherwise, youre only kidding yourself & continuing to let those around you down. At the same time, it doesnt have to be complicated. You can start simply, and by making only a few small changes. But pick that phone up & let someone know you Love them TODAY!
