What are You Waiting For?

I have to wait for the perfect job. I have to wait till my children grow up. I have to wait until I have more time. I have to wait until I have more money. I have to wait until I have more education. I have to wait until I have more experience. I have to wait until a have the perfect mate. I have to wait until.... I have to wait until.... I have to wait until.... I have to wait until....

What are you waiting for? Are you living in the past? Are you living in the future? All you have is NOW! The present moment, is the only thing you have. It is the only thing any of us have.

All you have is Now. And all you have is yourself. If you want a life of joy, happiness, laughter, and fun, you have to start living that life RIGHT NOW!

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." (Unknown) The only way to create yourself is to start now. I spent a good part of my life waiting for my children to grow up. And what I now know is that the present moment is all that I have. The present moment is all that you have.

Somehow many of us think the future will be better. In actuality the future will be very similar to the present. You are creating your future today. If you want to have a great future have a great today. Since you only have NOW make NOW the most happy and joyous you can. If you make this minute full of joy, then one hour will be full of joy. If one hour is full of joy, than one day will be full of joy. If one day is full of joy, than one week will be full of joy. If one week is full of joy, than one month will be full of joy. If one month is full of joy, than one year will be full of joy. If one year is full of joy, than ten years will be full of joy. And finally if ten year are full of joy, than your life will be full of joy.


"Dance like no one's watching, love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like no one's listening, and live like heaven on earth. And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. "
Abraham Lincoln

"And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." I totally agree. Some questions to ask yourself are:

1. What is your mission in life?
2. What is the biggest contribution you want to make in the world?
3. If you have only one year to live how would you live your life now?

So again, I ask, what are you waiting for?
