There is an old chinese proverb that goes something like this:
"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is today."
Often we set aside our goals for our future. We think that tomorrow is a better day to make our plans. We think that tomorrow will provide us with more downtime. We think that tomorrow will give us some breathing room. Today is too busy to make plans.
A woman in her 80's wished she had taken dance classes. Another woman bedridden from cancer wished she had learned to fly an airplane. Another one had always planned to learn to paint and never did. Books yet to be written. Countries yet to be explored. A degree never completed. A hot air balloon ride.
If you have put off setting your goals in motion, waiting for a better day it may be that you never get going!
It's not too late.
While you could be enjoying the fruit of your labor from planting your tree if you had planted twenty years ago, its not too late. Plant it today.
Take that tiny, little tree sapling and stick it in the ground today. Water it. Pour fertilizer on it. Be prepared to watch it grow for years to come.
Whatever your dreams, the best time to begin is today.
Girls, get going!
