“How soon 'not now' becomes "never'.”

Ever notice how some, well most, people push off things? A talking, that vacation, a doctors visit, fixing the car...

It usually is explained by, "Not now because -insert excuse here-." & there are many reasons for this. Fear. Skewed priorities. Lack of confidence. Comfort level.

I have a cousin who now has to have a toe amputated b/c he never went to the doctors over something small, that eventually turned worse & got infected.

I had a friend who never rode a roller coaster till he was 23. He was always afraid as a child. His first words when getting of the Millenium Force at Cedar Point, "So THIS is what I have been missing?!?!?!"


Most people want to do whatever it is, but lack something inside them to do it. A small push from the outside can help them out.

I say help a friend by giving them that push. I also say give yourself that push too. I say find something you have put in the "not now" category & do it this week, or make solid plans to do it as soon as possible. Not only will it be refreshing, but it will add some excitement.
