There is only now

Hugh Laurie

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.” ~ Hugh Laurie

Many years from now, when you look back on your life, what things will you wish you had done?

Think about it carefully.

What risks would you wish you had taken?

The scary thing about time is it passes by regardless of whether you’re ready or not.

And the truth is no one is ever really ready.

Which brings us to today’s lesson.

Take the risks you need to take.

Be proactive.

The time will never be just right.

Take the first step toward the dream you’ve carried for years.

And remember that making the most of life doesn’t mean filling every second with activity.

It means giving your time to what actually matters.

Because one day, you’ll look back on your life.

And you’ll remember the risks that were worth taking.

The days you were completely alive.

Not the years you spent waiting for the right time.

There is a moment in every life when a person realizes that nobody is coming to tell them it’s time to begin.

They have to decide for themselves.

Let this be that moment.

The years you’ve already lived cannot be changed.

But the life ahead of you is still being decided.

When you look back on your life, what would you wish you had tried?

Don’t let the answer to that question become your regret.

You still have time.
