I am a NOWist

It's been a crazy 11 months of this year.
So, nothing unusual for my life then. ;)
2 of my dear friends passed away this year. Both from heart ailments.
One of them, Jeffrey, taught me a new religion. Well, not all that new.
Most succesful people practise it, even Christians and Muslims.
It's called Nowism.
The power of doing things NOW. Not later, not next week.
NOW.
I hope I can convert you too.

Here's something for you to consider.

Nearly everyone postpones one grand thing or a collection of mighty hopes and dreams.

Between the quote marks of our lives are phrases like these: “When things slow down…when I finish my degree…when I get certified…as I acquire a deeper knowledge base…when I have kids…when the kids are grown…when I get well…when I marry…when I divorce…when I retire…when I get that promotion, that raise, that job, that house, that whatever the fill-in-the blank is for your specific postponing of life…”

Your Life Begins When You Do.

You may think you are postponing the longing of your soul until life aligns itself with your vision, until elements conspire to be more favorable…but as it happens, life just lolls along at the same remarkable consistent and disinterested cadence. 

Life is impartial. 

YOUR personal, subjective life (dreams, satisfactions, contentment, achievements, vision, fullness, passion, aspirations) begins when you begin.

From my teens into adulthood, I said, “I want to be a businessman.” 

One day (about 2 years ago) I changed the sentence to, “I AM a businessman.” 

My view changed. 

Life began. 

I looked behind me and saw that I had been accidentally living as a businessman all this while. 

I had been laying down a path that was only now visible to eyes that had begun to see. 

Beginning my life as a businessman made my heart’s longing and the small, tentative labors of my hands – visible and tangible. 

I began by opening the door and simply believing that I could live my dream. 

I began living that dream by seeing that I could.

Your purpose, that thing that among the many to-dos of your days, is what you must do. 

Embrace the truth of your purpose each minute of your precious life…for how very true it is that life begins when you do.
