Waiting

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.
