NO SUCH THING AS READY -- THERE IS ONLY NOW.






"It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is a as good a time as any."   -- Hugh Laurie

" There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. " 

I like that one. Good one to remember. Because it is true. Ready is just what people tell you, what you learn in school, what you are trained for in seminars, what your favorite Aunt Meg tells you. Oh they have their uses, too. 

But life ... it tells you a different thing. In fact, it shows you that today in the now is the best time for anything. You don't have to wait for the perfect time or timing, the perfect situation or environment, the perfect people or the right ones. What you do with your now is what truly matters. And if you can work every now with everything you have.. with the gifts God has blessed you with, then your dreams won't be far away. It'll be closer like ... in the next now that comes your way! Can it get any better than that?!? 

Mom, bless her soul, would remind me ------ 'With every present that you finish with your best, you get closer and closer to the desires of your heart."  Yeah, I am missing her so much!
.
Go for it, my friends; don't wait too long.
God goes with you. Stay on track.

  1. "With every present that you finish with your best, you get closer and closer to the desires of your heart." sums up everything.
    There is a proverb in these parts that one cannot wait for the waves to subside to take a sea bath.If one wishes to have a bath ,take it then itself.

    1. Hi Kim. Welcome to my blog! Yes, you're so right... 'I think time goes to fast to wait for that.' There's nothing like the present time to begin your dreams.

      I've been to your blog and I like what I see. You are an inspiration. God bless you.

  3. It is so true Ms.Ellen.We shouldn't wait to do something if we can do it now. We can't hold tomorrow in our hands and we don't know until when our lives will be so as long as we have time we should exert all our efforts and love before it is late.
