If you are at all like me then sometimes you procrastinate. (I put off writing my post until today) I'll start my diet tomorrow, I'll begin working out next week, I'll make those phone calls next week. We all know what happens, tomorrow becomes the day after tomorrow, next week becomes next month and so on. As Dr, Martin Luther King said many years ago:
"We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late. Procrastination is still the thief of time. Life often leaves us standing bare, naked, and dejected with a lost opportunity. The tide in the affairs of men does not remain at flood -- it ebbs. We may cry out desperately for time to pause in her passage, but time is adamant to every plea and rushes on. Over the bleached bones and jumbled residues of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words, "Too late."
Words that were true then and are true today. Whatever you are waiting to begin, begin today!
