This is so true:
“We Generate Fears While We Sit. We Overcome Them By Action.” – Dr. Henry Link.
Don’t sit and think for hours on end, don’t ruminate, do something to move yourself nearer to your goals, do something everyday to move forward, if only an inch. Don’t waste the day, make it count.
Write down your goals, visualise them, look at where you are now, visualise the gap between where you are and where you want to be, construct and develop a strategy to bridge the gap, to move forward. Don’t sit still, don’t consign yourself to a future of regrets, don’t consign yourself to a future of “I could have”s, “I should have”s and “I wonder what would have happened if…”s.
More common is the cry “I wish I had done it” than is the cry “I wish I hadn’t done it”. As we get older, we tend to chastise ourselves for the things we didn’t do more than we chastise ourselves for the things we did do. The excuses we come up with today for not doing things, at the end of our lives we’ll remember those excuses and it’s my guess that, more often than not, we’ll chastise ourselves for having given up, we’ll say that if only we could have our youth and our health back, we’d do those things which we gave up on when we were younger and able.
Let the fear of regrets and the knowledge that the sands of time are running down quickly be the spur to action.
