Why wait?

I think it’s funny that people will wait until New Years to begin working on resolutions. In fact, given the approach of so many towards them, myself included, I find it really difficult to even call them resolutions.

In fact, the AHD defines resolution as “firm determination.” But how many people really stick with them? How many of us actually get through January with that diet or work-out regimen?

In fact, I think it’s silly to know there is something we ought to do now but put it off until later. Of course, I get why people want to put off the diet until January. There’s simply too much junk that we don’t want to miss out on between Thanksgiving and Christmas! But I think such a concession is incredibly revealing, and I’ll let you make the inference.

Why wait? We shouldn’t. If there is something that needs tweaking in our lives, regardless of what it might be, real commitment is exhibited through tackling it ASAP, not when it becomes significantly more convenient.

Quit waiting to do tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year, what you know you need to do now! Why wait?

    You have at least two kinds of resolvers who are”waiters”:  one who just simply isn’t serious and puts things off, the other is the worst kind.  A procrastinator.
    I’m somewhat of an expert on the second since I are one.  Don’t intend to be. Just works out that way sometimes.

    I hear you, Harold. I can be the same way but it’s time for me to break the cycle!
