Why you need to act now!

There's that much quoted line: Don't put off to tomorrow after you can do today. Let me rephrase that and say: "Don't put off what you can do NOW to the next hour!"

It's true. Have you ever wondered what you could have achieved if you have not hesitated a thousand times before? This applies to those good intentions that you secretly want to carry out but die a natural death because you pause and think about it for a couple of days.

By the time, you are ready and willing, the object of your desire or the subject of your intention has left the scene. Or, you yourself could be in a position where you no longer have the power to carry it out.

Now, isn't that a crying shame? The good deeds of tomorrow are acted upon NOW, not the next hour or the nex day.

Do it now. Don't hesitate. Just do it! Now, I am beginning to sound like a Nike ad. It may sound cornish to you but the long years I have spent gallivanting on earth have taught me one valuable lession - all good intentions remain just intentions if you merely dwell on them mentally.

The smallest good intention must be translated into action for it to achieve results. For example, if you plan to say something nice to your girlfriend, just say it the next time you meet her.

There's no such thing as timing. Just say it, for love's sake! If you want to buy your dad something that you know he loves. Don't hesitate till the fire in your belly dies out.

Just go out and buy it. The money in your wallet can be replaced. If something happens to your dad, I think you will be hard put to find a replacement.

If you think you stand a ghost of a chance of making a million dollar deal. Go ahead and try, you really have nothing to lose except the act of trying.

All attempts leads halfway to reality. Reality are dreams turned inside out. If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you can create it, it will come true.

That's what life's all about. Making dreams come true - for yourself and for others.
Why wait till you have the money to do this, do that and then act upon all the good intentions.

Do the things you can do first. Forget the money, or the timing, or even the stars to come out. Life's for the moment. Every moment counts. Every kind word uttered is action done.

Every charity performed is grace delivered. Every act of good deed is twice blessed. It blesses the one who receives as well as the one who gives.

If you are not sure, just ask William Shakespeare.
