Don’t wait to do what you want until “things settle down.”

You know how it is.

I’ll do what I really want “when the mortgage is paid off,” or “when I retire,” or “when the kids are grown” or…

As my grandmother used to say, “Man plans and God laughs.”

If we had a crystal ball, life would be much easier wouldn’t it?

We would know when things will be busy and when we’d have time. We could schedule “health issues” for when there wasn’t much else going on. We would know how much time was left so we could make sure we did everything we planned to accomplish before we passed.

Alas, we do not have such an ability so we can’t delay as the reality is that things will only “settle down” at the end of life. And when that happens, it won’t matter what we never did, will it?

Don’t wait. Enjoy now. Live large.
