Stop waiting for yesterday to get better
It’s making today worse
Stop waiting for your ex to come back…he’s (or she’s) not
Stop waiting for the perfect time to light that candle
Stop waiting for someone to complete you
Stop waiting for the right time to make a change; change happens NOW
Stop waiting for the world to sober up
Stop waiting to take risks
Stop waiting to eat the chocolate
Stop waiting to put yourself out there
Stop waiting for life to be perfect
Stop waiting to live
Stop waiting for your parents to give you what they can’t or be who they aren’t
Stop waiting to love yourself
Stop waiting for people to change
Stop waiting for things to fall into place
Stop waiting for the other shoe to drop
Stop waiting.
Stop waiting.
Stop waiting!
Start living
…freely
…bravely
…honestly
…courageously
…loudly
…softly
Live with your whole heart.
Live like you mean it.
Live as if you only get one chance.
Make mistakes.
Try new things.
Be a little crazy.
Wear costumes on days that aren’t Halloween.
Make a fort out of blankets.
Write with gel pens.
Read Dr. Seuss
And Aristotle
Stand in front of the Great Pyramid
Walk up to the Acropolis
Pretend you are the Oracle at Delphi
Climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge
Have really good sex
Only buy clothes that you feel fantastic in
Swim like you’re a mermaid
Laugh a lot
Do something nice for a child
Do something nice for an unsuspecting adult
Do something nice for YOURSELF
Stick around long enough to fulfill all your own wishes
This world can be cruel
But past the pain is enough beauty to amaze all of us
Don’t give up
Not now
Not ever
Stop waiting.
Start living.

This was magnificent. Such a beautiful message to wake up to on a Monday morning. I am guilty of having been waiting … for what? For this post, apparently, and the encouragement to move on regardless.
The rest of the world can wait, I’ll be off living!! <3
I feel like I could have written this as well. I tend to want to wait, just let things happen but in many cases it is necessary to take action. Easier said than done for sure. Your email made me smile from ear to ear by the way, best start to my work day yesterday
This is beautiful!! Too often I forget to enjoy the beauty of each day.
Thank you so much Gloria! I too forget to enjoy the little things and the beauty that I take for granted.
