As I approach a birthday, one with a ginormous number, a wise
coach posed the question: If not now, when? I was grumbling about how I
hadn't been getting enough done but I really wanted to spend more time reading,
watching movies and the World Cup, in other words, engaging in activities that
would result in getting even less done. If not now, when?, she asked.
My coach had a valid point. Perhaps you use some of these same rationalizations,
as you avoid pursuing your passions and desires:
1. I'll do it next year. It might be the big trip you've
been talking about for eons. Perhaps time and/or money are getting in the way
of you taking that Alaskan cruise or visiting India. These are my fantasy trips,
not yours, but surely you have a place you've always wanted to go? Or that
thing you've been hoping to get to do?
