all we have is now

all we have is now. nobody knows how many 'tomorrows' they have left. nobody knows what is going to happen in the future. but you can control the here and now. so don't wait till tomorrow. for tomorrow may not come. dont' say you'll do it later... because chances are you will forget. or chicken out. if something comes across your mind chances are its important. so do something about it. don't sit and wonder 'what if' this and 'what if' that...

if you have something to say to someone - then say it. if you sit and think about it, its just going to get harder to do. if someone is slipping away from you - pull them back. don't think they will come back when they're ready, because a lot of times they leave and they don't come back. if someone is important enough to you: fight for them. if they have made a difference in your life, make a difference in theirs. show them they mean something. too many times people slip away because we are too afraid of our feelings. too afraid of laying it out on the line... life is too short to play it safe.

you have to take risks if you are ever going to get anywhere in life. and what better time than right now. all we have is now. if an opportunity is in front of you grab it. because you have no idea if its going to come around again. that job. that once in a lifetime trip. that opportunity you've been dying for. that special someone you just can't seem to get off your mind. that college that might be a little more money than you planned for - but has always been your dream to attend.

run away. say what you want to say. write something. accomplish your dreams. dare to achieve more than you ever thought possible. travel the world. play music. sing your heart out. do something spontaneous. love with all your heart. don't hold back. don't play it safe. give everything your absolute all and live without regrets. learn from your mistakes. move on and try again. make a difference. smile. appreciate the small things in life. give and expect nothing in return. thank God for the gifts He has given you - and use them.

we don't know when our time will come. when someone will walk out of our lives. how long we have to grasp an opportunity. all we have is now. don't waste it.
