It’s easy to imagine some distant destination.
But… what if… what if you absolutely had to get there now?
Well, you’d go online and buy a ticket.
When you buy an airplane ticket, it means you’re going to fly… you’re going somewhere… you’re committed.
Done deal.
The commitment drives us forward.
Unfortunately, most of us don’t confront our lives in the same way. We don’t commit. We don’t invest. We don’t buy the ticket.
Instead, we put things off; we defer, we delay, and we drift along. We tell ourselves that there’s still time, that we’ll get to it… someday.
And then time goes by.
If we’re going to live our dreams, if we’re going to live out what we value most, we must be about it. There is no time to waste.
This means today.
Not “someday;” not “when the kids get out of college;” not “when we retire.”
Today.
The only time we have is now.
Buy the ticket to your life. It’s the greatest show on earth.
Commit. Take action. Make your dreams inevitable.
Spot on! Thank you for the reminder. It makes all the difference when I commit and set a date for something I want or want to do! Even if it moves – it gets the wheels rolling!!
