Don't wait too long please

Don't wait. The time will never be just right. Napoleon Hill

All your life you treasure whatever that makes your ego feel inflated.

You can treasure, certifications, cars, clothing, shoes, money, or you name it.

I listened about this person who cared about his closet.

He had so many clothing and he used to say: this I'll wear it for a special occasion.

He wouldn't allow anyone to give him their opinion about when to wear x or y clothing. The problem was that we are talking of someone who at that time was 80 years old.

Jacky is a housekeeper who worked for this gentleman. And his father Mr. Jones lived under the same roof.

Suddenly, Mr. Jones had a stroke and in a series of events, Mr. Jones, the 80 years old man, passed away.

His oldest children recalled how he was always like that.

He never thought he would be gone someday he said.

He planned and planned but never took the time to enjoy what he achieved or had.

His grown up children, now adults, still resent that, even when he is not around anymore.

Now,

You plan and never reward yourself when you achieve a small goal?

You should.

Your reward can be a trip with your family on a weekend or a nice dinner with your partner or wife/husband monthly or bi monthly or when a special date comes.

Who is going to assure that you will be there for them? For the people who really cares about you?

Give yourself a chance to enjoy life. Without life you have no work to do, believe me.

Or you think you will live 150 years?

Small achievements and small rewards, that should be our planning along the year.

May be when you really have the time for the others, they won't have the time for you.

Your time might have passed by and everybody will be busy as you were in that stage of life.

Oh you might say. I have so little time.

Then plan, and get a method to optimize your time.

You could need a person who can coach you temporarily and then you'll figure out later.

It's time to open your eyes, see world around you.

Start with your loved ones. Those who really care or those who matter to you.

Do not expect their recognition when you set time for them. Do it for yourself first, to get that relief of your busy life.

They will recognize it later and will pass it to their loved ones when the time comes.
