I need to stop waiting for things to happen.
I need to stop waiting for ‘another day’ to come before I start writing blog posts. I need to stop waiting for tests to come up and actually study for them. I need to stop waiting for the perfect scenario and setting for my first time trying sushi (lol, I will explain later in this post)
Earlier this year, I wrote a facebook note called 17 years, 17 lessons. It was a list of seventeen lessons I had learnt in the seventeen years I had lived. (I’m eighteen now.)
The first lesson I had learnt was – ‘Life is too short to wait for things to happen.’
But recently I’ve been waiting. Sitting here waiting.. SMH (Shakes my head).
The other day, my friend and I went out for a meal, and she suggested we have sushi. And I, being the ultimate dreamer I am, said this;
“No, not sushi. I’ve never tried it before, but I’m saving it for my first date with a boy I really like, who wouldn’t have tried sushi before either and it will be a really memorable experience and it’ll probably be really fun.."
WHAT!!
From this day forth: I am done with procrastination.If there is something you’ve always wanted to do.. DO IT! Stop waiting for another day, because another day may not come. If I had waited for another day this blog wouldn’t exist, so START NOW.
“WHAT THE HELL ARE WE WAITING FOR?? LIFE WILL NEVER BE JUST RIGHT, IT WILL NEVER BE THAT PERFECT PLACE IN OUR HEAD WHERE WE IMAGINE THAT WE ARE CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO START, SKINNY ENOUGH TO START, RICH ENOUGH TO START, TALENTED ENOUGH TO START, POPULAR ENOUGH TO START, ETC. BECAUSE EVEN WHEN WE THINK WE’VE REACHED THAT ‘PERFECT’ PLACE, WE WILL TELL OURSELVES THAT WE NEED SOMETHING ELSE TO START. AND ON THE CYCLE GOES.. WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE, AND WE WILL FIND TOOLS ALONG THE WAY. TOOLS THAT WILL HELP US ON OUR ROAD TO SUCCESS. THE ONLY WAY WE WILL REACH SUCCESS IS TO WALK TOWARDS IT. AND EVERY WALK STARTS WITH A STEP. ONE SMALL STEP. TAKE IT.”
Do it now.
I’m off to buy some sushi!
Much Love,
