Why Not Now?

All the joy and passion you can envision can be yours right now, rather than in a future point in time.

The time we are blessed with is limited and tends to be used up all too quickly. How we utilise that time is one of the most important decisions we make. Yet it is far too easy to put off until tomorrow what we are dreaming of today. 

The hectic pace of modern existence affords us an easy out; we shelve our aspirations so we can cope more effectively with the challenges of the present, ostensibly to have more time and leisure to realise our purpose in the future. Or we tell ourselves that we will chase our dreams someday once we have accomplished other lesser goals. In truth, it is our fear that keeps us from seeking fulfillment in the here and now—because we view failure as a possibility, our reasons for delaying our inevitable success seem sound and rational. If we ask ourselves what we are really waiting for, however, we discover that there is no truly compelling reason why we should put off the pursuit of the dreams that sustain us.







When regarded as a question, "Why not now?" drains us of our power to realise our ambitions. We are so concerned with the notion that we are somehow undeserving of happiness that we cannot see that there is much we can do in the present to begin courting it. Yet when we look decisively at our existence and state, "Why not now, indeed!" we are empowered to begin changing our lives this very moment. We procrastinate for many reasons, from a perceived lack of time to a legitimate lack of self-belief, but the truth of the matter is that there is no time like the present and no time but the present. Whatever we aim to accomplish, we will achieve it more quickly and with a greater degree of efficiency when we seize the day and make the most of the resources we have at our disposal presently.

All the joy, passion, and contentment you can envision can be yours right now, rather than in some far-flung point in time. You need only remind yourself that there is nothing standing between you and fulfillment. If you decide that today is the day you will take your destiny into your hands, you will soon discover that you hold the keys of fate.

3 steps for building positive habits

Learn habits that stick and are sustainable.

Setting goals doesn't always work you must learn to establish habits that will lead you toward success.

1. Start small - a tiny habit is easier to stick to.

Do you resolve to exercise more often? Start with just 10 pushups a day or a short jog around the neighborhood — something so quick that there’s no excuse not to do it. Once a habit begins to feel natural, increase the amount of time or effort you spend.

2. Fit new habits together with existing habits

Choose a habit that’s already second nature, then schedule your new habit immediately after. Think about your own days: what existing habits can be extended or transformed?

If you’ve resolved to read more, place a book next to your cup of morning coffee. If you intend to brush up on a new language, stick vocabulary cards into your gym bag and take advantage of that post-workout jolt of energy. Existing habits can be a seamless gateway to new activities.

3. Practice makes perfect

You’ll probably need a few nudges before your habit truly becomes second nature. Create checkpoints to help you stay on track: enlist a friend to keep you honest, set alarms throughout the day, or mark your successes on a calendar.

The more regularly you practice your new activity, the more quickly it’ll become a part of your life.

Someone Somewhere

We all get caught up with things that are going on in our immediate environment, sometimes it's hard to imagine what's going on somewhere else in the world. While you are eating; somewhere, someone is hungry.  As you are laughing; somewhere, someone is shedding a tear.  While you are holding your newborn; somewhere, someone is dying. As you are reciting your vows; somewhere, someone's heart is being broken.  When you were out dancing; somewhere, someone is learning how to walk all over again.  While you are singing; somewhere, someone is praying for their voice to be heard. Life has its ups and downs. You are not guaranteed a great time every moment of every day. You learn to grab and hold on to those moments that make you smile and your heart feel good. You have to experience the bad things so that you can appreciate the good things, you have to have something to compare the good times to. Just as you know what it's like to be surrounded by loving people, you also know what it feels like to be alone, but you don't want to be lonely. To me we are not all different, we are all the same.  We just haven'trealized it yet, that will take generations to come. There is no good or bad, just what our perception of it is, and that perception varies from one generation to the next. For those who have a hardened heart, while you wallow in anger and spend your precious time and energy seeking ways to seek revenge; someone somewhere is wrapping their loving arms around a baby struggling to breathe. You can either carry on old ways, or look at this baby, (a new life, a new breath), and see it as hope for a new generation that knows no anger, that knows only love; and you can teach it how to give and receive. The gift you give yourself is prosperity which is produced from love. Just as you experience both good and bad events in your life, you also have choices to do good and bad things. Your heart is either pure; to help mankind make a better world for the next generation, or your heart has been hardened by past events and you cannot see outside of your own hatred and despair. Only you know the difference, and only you can change things.  Give love and hope, not hate and despair. Which would you want your child to know?

The Road to New Beginnings

Life is a montage of beginnings and endings that merge into a blur sometimes. 

Before we can begin any new phase in life, we must sometimes first reach closure to the current stage we are in. Often, we cannot see the influence of an event or the value of a lesson until we have reached closure. It is this feeling of completion that frees us to open the door to new beginnings.

When we seek closure, what we really want is an understanding of what has happened and an opportunity to derive what lessons we can from an experience. Without closure, there is no resolution and we are left in sorrow, reliving old memories, or remain forever connected to people from our past. 

A sense of completion regarding a situation may also result when we accept that we have done our best. One way to create closure is to write a farewell letter to that person and then burn your note. It sounds weird, but this allows you to consciously have gratitude for what has taken place between you and release the experience so you can move forward.  

Closure can help you let go of feelings of anger or uncertainty regarding your past – whether good or bad - as a necessary step on your life’s path. By not closing you are generating blocks to abundance flowing into your life and become stuck.

By admitting to yourself that you have done what was needed, 

and are wiser because of your experience, 

you will be ready for whatever life wants to bring you next.
