We spend our life waiting. For everything.
We spend long minutes waiting for our bus at the stop, waiting in the que for the coffee to be ready, waiting our stomach to be hungry so we can eat, waiting that some divine signal from the sky tells us it’s finally time to do what we have been waiting to do.
But it is
all this “waiting” worth it?
Do we really want to spend our life waiting for the right time? Waiting
for living?
Why do we
waste our time? Why when dozens of people have already spent their life writing
big poems about carpe diem (“seize the day”) or good songs that we often listen at the
radio we still don’t understand how short is life?
In this
2016 that has just began as every year people have made their new year’s
resolution list copied from the past year’s list as they have never actually
found time to accomplish them. Because they were waiting for the right moment
to tell that person about their feelings, waiting for Monday to start a clean
diet, waiting for someone to accompanying you to watch that art exposition
together.
Stop
waiting. Start acting.
Doing
something actually takes less time than thinking on how to do it. So just act,
follow your instinct. If you do a mistake, don’t worry much about it, don’t
regret your actions, take it as a new experience, a way to stop waiting.
Just live
the present. I know, I’m not saying anything new from Ovidio or Walt Whitman but
it is important to remember it to ourselves once so ever, especially when we
feel that our lives are senseless. But in my experience, life never gets
senseless. Everything happens for a reason.
We just have to live everyday as it
was the last on the earth, live without regrets and fearless. That’s the only
way that we can tick off all those “to do” from the list.
