Are you also the one who postpones things or decisions? May be I will do this tomorrow. Oh! I will call up my friend next week. God! I am messed up, let’s just postpone this decision for a month. If any of this seems to be like you, it’s mandatory that you read further. :-p
Live in the present. Yes, I know you have heard this innumerable times. But then you never thought of what it really meant. So I have a small example for you. I wrote a letter to my friend, telling her how much I love her and how much I really valued her. And to my surprise, she said “It’s not my birthday, then why this sudden expression of love and gratitude?” I don’t know who made this rule that you can praise people only on their birthdays! Cmon! I don’t need a special day to tell you that you are a true friend and an amazing person. Do I have to wait for 11 months, so that I can say this simple a thing to you? I don’t know whether I will take my next breath or not, how can I postpone something this important for next year? Do you get the point? Do it NOW! You want to tell someone that you love her? Do it now. You want to apologise to someone? Do it now. A moment missed is a moment lost my friend. An idea comes to your mind, put it into action right now. You may never again get the chance to do it ever. But don’t confuse this with your daily priorities. It doesn’t mean you leave studying and start writing articles in the middle of exams (just what I am doing right now!) because you got this idea now! Prioritise your work because work is important. But some things are beyond priorities and they don’t eat too much of your time. So do those little things NOW! Take care of someone! Talk to an old friend! Make someone smile! Apologise for your mistakes! Express your love!
And if this made even a little sense to you and you really realised something important that you have been postponing, say thank you to me! Do that NOW!!
