I’ve heard so many different aged people say that they’ll do something later, or when they’re retired, or when the timing is better. So you hold your life on a pause-button and start living later? Why not start living now, not tomorrow?
Do you have dreams that you think are not possible to reach at the moment? Are there things in your life that prevent you reaching towards your dreams?
I know the daily life can be very demanding, very busy and you try to balance between all the demands you have. You might feel like there’s no way out from the full-throttle life you have.
Many things in life are something you’ve chosen. Not everything, but quite many things. If you’re not happy with your choices, make new plans, make new choices. Either you cope with the choices, or head your life towards another direction.
What if you had only a year to live? Would keep it all the same in your life? Or would you change something small? Or do a huge life change? Life is now, life is here, not tomorrow or somewhere else.
I urge you to think if there’s anything, even something small in your life that you could change? Maybe you can work a bit less? Change your job? Find a new, interesting hobby? Study something? Sell your home/house? Have less loans? Look at things from a different perspective? Change your daily routines? Do something differently, even if it’s a small thing?
I knew a man who waited eagerly for his retirement. He told me how he’d start living his dreams, doing his own stuff, and spending more time with his grandkids when he’d be retired. Finally his retirement came and……. he died on his first retirement day. Heartbreaking and sad. I thought then, that I won’t do the same in my life. You never know what tomorrow brings. If you wait until your retirement, or taking it easier in work life, or when your kids have moved from home, or when you think it’s the right time to make a change – you won’t know if you’re healthy or if your situation is good at that time.
Life is now. Do the things you love.
Tell your loved ones you love them.
Hold on tight to your dreams, and go towards them. If you need a change, make a change.
Live now.
