Crap - was that the starting gun?

I don’t know about anyone else but I’m constantly waiting for the ‘right time’ to do everything that I’ve always wanted to do.

  • I want to write more on this blog - better wait until I’ve written a few blog posts and have an exact schedule of what I plan to write and when.
  • I want to write a romance novel - better wait until the story is perfectly composed in my head before committing it to paper.
  • I want to get back in the dating game - better wait until I’ve either lost my steroid weight or until I have some self-esteem.
  • I want to get fit and lose some weight - better wait until I’ve started losing weight so that I don’t look like a fool when I’m out running, swimming etc. (I’m not even joking about this one even though I know how ridiculous it sounds!)

I always seem to have some excuse or reason for procrastination.

Even knowing that it’s pure procrastination, and knowing that it’s only because these things mean a lot to me personally that I'm hesitating, doesn’t help me to actually get going.

So, I’ve decided to fire the gun.

I’m not ready.

I don’t know which route to take.

I haven’t stretched.

But that’s too bad - the starting gun has been fired and everyone else is running. Even if I look at it as a one person race, that gun has still gone off and can’t be unfired.

So, I can either take the heart lurch of missing the starting gun and knowing I’ll be a step behind, say ‘shit!’ and just get going, or…

D'you know - there’s never a ‘right time’ which means there’s never a ‘wrong time’ either!

Let’s get going.

  1. I remember that poor guy. I can just imagine the sweary words he said when they all belted past him. Timing is all in the mind. I'm sure it all works out in the end. :o)
