IF NOT NOW, WHEN
Get up and get going. Time is a wasting away! Sounds familiar, but you know in your heart you’re not getting any younger. So if not now, when. Sure, there’s missed opportunities, regrets, and yet we continue to believe our best days are behind us. The truth is your best days are yet to come. I’ll say it again, if not now, when? When will you follow through on the never ending to do list, finish those projects you hoped were done last summer. Begin a new dream.
Beginning with a new dream, a new perspective, will give you hope for all your true aspirations. Suppose you wanted to take an extensive vacation, remodel your home, start a new business. Do you have a plan in place? If not now, when? Start with a pen and a piece of paper and write down everything you want, everything you want to see, who do you want to share your time with?
Gods Plans for you
Let’s make the most of today. God has already planted a seed in you, He’s just waiting for you to water it, so through Him all your dreams will come to past according to His plans for you. Don’t worry if they may be different than what you had hoped for. When I was finishing high school, I had planned on becoming a CPA and a Real Estate Investor. I had big plans for my life. What are your life plans? My plans didn’t work out. I look back now and know it was because God had a greater purpose for me and is continuing His work now. So if not now, when.
Pinch yourself and if you feel it than God still has a plan for you. Keep steadfast in your faith and whatever you hope for will come to fruition as you seek the kingdom of God first. Whatever you would like to do and to accomplish from this moment forward, I urge you to follow through on anything which brings you joy and have peace with what you can do and not what you can’t do.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. Ecclesiastes 3:1(NIV)
Certainly, you have been contemplating about a project and how you hoped you would have time someday to finish it or perhaps, even start it. You only fail when you fail to begin. Do something today, whatever it is no matter how small, just keep moving forward. You may consider a list of goals and keep track of each of them according to however you may decide to prioritize them. If not now, when?
