If You Want To

Yesterday, I had a great moment meeting up with some friends who I haven't seen since the beginning months of the Covid outbreak in the U.S. That's a long time away already. Time has flown by so fast. It's been almost a full couple of years now. News updates, laughs, and good stories were shared over some Mexican food. One of the things mentioned from a story had become stuck in mind that made me laugh the way it was told, but it's a very important message to learn a lesson from. 

It's about being stern in doing what you want to do regardless of what you're told where someone thinks they know better than you. It's about doing what you want to do instead of just thinking about it. Of course, this would not include something that is harmful to another person. What you'd like to do can be as simple as going to that restaurant you've been wanting to try out since you've first laid eyes onto it. Perhaps you've had a project in mind that you just cannot get to doing it yet because other things take priority. Maybe you want to take a vacation to a place you've been wanting to go to. 

Whatever it is that you've been thinking about...

Don't wait for tomorrow.

 Do it now because we're not promised tomorrow.

 And if for some reason you can't do it right now and have to wait,

 then do what you intend to do as soon as you can that will make you happy. 

Go ahead and treat yourself.

There are so many things telling us all of the reasons why we have to wait and that it is more responsible in choosing to do so. Doing something for yourself is part of self-care that is essential to keeping you grounded, happy, and enjoying life. There's no better time than now to take care of yourself. By doing this, you also won't have regrets. There won't be any should've, could've, would've.  

Why?

Because you've done it now.

It's simple...

If you want to ride a horse,

THEN RIDE ONE!

Seize the day!

May it be a pleasant one.
