Some times I find myself thinking in some what if that were left behind in my past. Yes, some times I ask myself what if I would have taken another path--- and I certainly find some interesting possibilities. Nowadays, I have the intention of taking advantage of whatever opportunity I may find in my way.
So, at those moments, we use detours and excuses like this is not the time, I’m not so sure about it, is too much to risk--- This is just ourselves paying too much attention to fear. And fear, when is heard over our own wishes, makes us fearful and restrained beings.
The fact that you got vital signs does not mean that you are living. To live is a lot more than breath and see days go by. From my point of view, life is all about dreaming, and walking the path that leads to fulfilling those dreams--- Always trying to enjoy the path, of course.
If you knew that your time in this world is limited, and that’s obvious already (50, 70, 80, 100 years), if you knew you have just about a week to live--- What would you do? Would you sleep each and every day until you die? Would you look for a greater good and go around defying death to gather charity funds? Would you walk around kissing and cherishing every attractive specimen of the opposite (or the same) sex that crosses your way? Would you walk naked in the middle of the street? Would you become a Ghost Buster? Would you fight a crocodile bare-handed? Would you play Golf?Would you go to a TV channel to make a reality of your life and death in 7 days to be famous? Would you become a hired assassin? Would you become just an assassin or a vigilante? Would you steal a supercar and go speeding above 200mph to know how it feels? Would you practice extreme sports? Would you give motivational chats? Would you go to Bora Bora?
Then, I just have one more thing to tell you. You ask when is the right moment? Well, RIGHT NOW! You’re alive, aren’t you? Go ahead, act! You don’t need a lot of things, just a dream and the desire to making it true. So, the right time to make things happen and starting making your dreams true is nothing more and nothing less than NOW!
Focus. Make a plan. Work. Go for it!
The next part of this post will be plçublished as soon as I can translate it. It is a poem written by Jorge Luis Borges. A poem, called Instants. If you got the patience, in a few days it will be here. If you do not, then you can google it and you will sure find some translations in a variety of places.
Words of Wisdom:
In case you don’t know it yet, that’s what life is all about, only moments; do not miss the ‘right now’
Jorge Luis Borges (Instants)
