I think it is so crazy how “feelings” can come and go. I am not meaning girly ” let’s share our feelings” type feeling. I mean like inspirations or random urges to do something great. Kinda like my randon craving for Cinnamon Toast Cruch at midnight tonight, or the desire to write on this blog page that has been dormant for years….but I also mean like creativity or opportunities. Sometimes when the moments arises we must act or they can pass by and be missed before we know it. Could be a creative idea, a business deal, act of kindness or whatever.
How many times have you ha the urge to get up and help the person that dropped their keys with bags in hand, but as you thought about it and contemplated your move the opportunity passed and was over. Or maybe on a lighter side a good witty joke….it pops in your head, opportunity to share is good but you rehearse it, think about it and next thing you know the conversation is already left to something else. Or maybe something greater like a chance to do something new or take a moral stance. No matter what it is we need to create this habit of doing or acting as we get the desires. Very few windows stay open for long, so acting fast is key.
Heard a nice quote today from Mae West saying “You only live once, but if you do it right once is enough”. Well put Mae….first, I did not know Y.O.L.O was actually started decades ago. And second, if we can act and do more we can really make this life really count. We cannot just wait for the perfect time or until things happen on their own. Let’s make something happen today. We cannot regret taking a chance or an opportunity that could lead to the next great thing in our lives. Because ultimately “you only live once”.

Well said my friend.
