Don't Wait To Start

Don’t wait to start. 
One of many things I have learned through life is don’t wait to start. Time moves so incredibly fast.  If you don’t purposefully carve time out every day to make progress and improve whatever you wish to accomplish, without question, your time will get lost in our increasingly crowded lives. Before you know it, you’ll be old and withered wondering where all that time went. I feel like I should still be in my 20’s, but I am in my 50’s!!
I waited many years to actively start doing many things I enjoy today including writing. I have been guilty of waiting for the right moment when I’d have enough time, money and whatever else I thought I needed. I was waiting until I was somehow qualified or had permission to do what I wanted to do. We all do that don’t we? But you are never prequalified. There is no degree for “live your dreams.” You qualify yourself by showing up and working. Then you continue to work until you master what you are attempting to fulfill in your life. The truth is, you get permission by deciding.
Life is incredibly short. Don’t wait for tomorrow for something you could do today! Your future self will either thank you or shamefully defend you. May I make a suggestion? Let your future self thank you! Why live with regrets? Create the future you desire by starting right now! I spent 30 years living one of my biggest dreams, having a career in the radio industry. A number of years ago, I was dismissed from my last radio job as a station manager. I was out of the industry I thoroughly enjoyed! Recently, I made contact with the General Manager of a local station, who also hosts a talk show. I asked him if I could sit in on his show, thankfully he said yes! I told him I just needed to scratch the itch of needing to be in a studio and watch radio happen.
After the show, we talked over old times and changes in the industry. I thanked him for allowing me to sit in and was proceeding to leave, when he asked me a question that quite literally stopped me in my tracks, “Have you ever thought about getting back into radio? My immediate answer, before thinking of what I was saying, I uttered, “Everyday!”
Since then, I have on a weekly basis been recording programs for later broadcast and producing a live broadcast on Sunday evenings. So, don’t give up. If you don’t know all the information of what to do or how to get started, ask someone in that field. If you don’t have access to them, get credible information from trustworthy websites. The point is, DO SOMETHING! Don’t wait to start!

Here is a powerful truth for you to consider!

“You pile up enough tomorrows, and you’ll find you are left with nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays.” —Harold Hill

Perspective

In each situation in our lives we react a certain way to what is happening, in many cases reacting differently than other people. Why do we react differently than others? It is perspective!     Perspective is defined as “a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.” In a light hearted way, (in some cases) a football game comes to mind. You may be pulling for your favorite team and your good friend is pulling for the opposing team. Each of you are pulling for your team with all your might. At the end of the game, one of the teams prevails while the other team is dejected over the loss.   If your team won and your friends team lost. You are thrilled, your friend not so much. From your perspective it is awesome to have a win, your friend isn’t happy at all. Why? It is from the perspective you are coming from. You may have a particular point of view concerning a matter and many around you don’t share your view. You think in the manne...

Your Thought Life

It is interesting to me, how we don’t realize that how we think, affects our lives. We make most of our decisions based on what we ponder. Consider how much you dwell on a particular thought and at some point you make plans on how you will make it happen.  You possibly have thought on a matter so intently, that you start making hand motions or your foot moves as if you are actually doing what you are only thinking about. Your thoughts are actually very powerful. It is the genesis of any action you take. Books have been written on what effects our thinking can accomplish. Possibly one of the better known books on the subject is “Think And Grow Rich” written by Napoleon Hill. The book was first released in the 1930’s and changed the trajectory of many lives. Many of the concepts are found in the Word of God, the writer only acknowledges the fact in rare mentions. Another source that is out there is the Master Key System. It follows the same concept as the book “Think And...
