Are you already late?
What to do when you are already late in the game of life?
In a sudden moment of clarity, I realized that this is what my next move should be. Finally! I know what I want to do in life. Seconds later it became evident that this would have been an excellent path to follow a couple of years back. Standing here today, I am already behind my peers, friends and thousands of other people. My light bulb moment plunged into darkness again.
I am oscillating between “Yes let’s do this” and “What’s the point? I can never catch up to them”.
The clouds of uncertainty cast their shadow again.
In an attempt to pull me back up, I turn to what I always do when life is messy. The only thing that gives me some sense of control. An illusion of achievement when all else is down the drains.
Exercise.
I have been working out and running on and off all my life. It is my dose of sanity, of meditation, of pushing myself, of purpose, of progress. No matter if I have not done exercise in over a month, I never give a second thought about starting again — I just start.
When this dawned on me — the light bulb turned on again.
Just start.
The best time to begin is NOW
