"If You Wait Too Long For The Perfect Moment, The Perfect Moment Will Pass You By" -Anonymous-

A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success.

"Never leave that till tomorrow", he said. "What you can do today".

This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more of us would listen to what he had to say.

I don't know why we put things off, but if I have to guess, I say it has lots to do with fear.

Fear of failure

Fear of pain

Fear of rejection

Sometimes the fear is just of making a decision because what if you're wrong and you're making a mistake you cant undo?

The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates, is lost.

We cant pretend we haven't been told. We've all heard of the proverbs. Heard the philosophers. Heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time. Heard the damn poets urging us to cease the day.

Still sometimes, we have to see for ourselves.

We have to make our own mistakes.

We have to learn our own lessons.

We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we cant anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin meant.


That knowing is better than wondering.


That waking is better than sleeping
and that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake, beats the hell out of never trying.

This was taken from Grey's Anatomy Season 1 Episode 6 If Tomorrow Never Comes.

Just wanna share this with everyone. Don't just sit there and wait, and worry. Take your chances and have no regrets. I waited once and I will not repeat the same mistake again. I'm going to make the most out of it. Even if it was from nothing at all. You're the reason I'm happy, the reason I smile at work during my hectic day. I luv ya. =)

"You gotta dance like nobody's watching, dream like you will live forever, live like your going to die tomorrow and love like it's never going to hurt"
-Meme Grifsters-

"The man who does things makes many mistakes, but he never makes the biggest mistakes of all- doing nothing"
-Benjamin Franklin-
