Thoughts about waiting

When I was younger and I was taking an exam, I didn't want to learn my score. The period of not knowing was my favorite, because I was scared that I would have the lowest passing score or that I would have failed. Of course, when the results were announced I would either pass with flying colours and I would be the happiest person on earth and I would have a huge smile on my face or I would have a bad score or even I would have failed. Then, I would be sad until my family made me realize that I was being miserable because of a number and that there are more important things to worry about in life. I know that it may sound cheesy but it is totally true.

If you ask me now, I don't want to wait for anything. Again this is not the best mentality but I've come to the conclusion that we should live life to the fullest. In order to achieve that, you'll just need to do the things that you feel passionate about and have people around you with whom you share feelings of love and respect.

But what about responsibilities? You may be a student, an employee, a parent or generally you may have an obligation which does not allow you to do something that you love. You may want to write a book, to travel, to be with a particular person and so on. I am not going to lie, this is hard, as you should not neglect your duties. However, putting your needs or passion aside is not the solution.

My advice? Combine them! Yes, it'll be very hard and you will not have a lot of time to rest but life is short. Instead of pausing your dreams and waiting for the right moment to come, live them now. Start with baby steps. Just don't wait.

Do whatever you want now. Be with whoever you love now. Obstacles will always creep up on your way and you will always find a good reason to postpone the things you desire to do. Don't put your desires on hold, live them.
