While writing this introductory part, I was thinking of what content to include in the body because seriously, I just thought of this topic out of the blue and was not in my plan to write about it. But then my body was slacking and doesn't want to grind, so I pushed my senses to stay alive to think of something to write. And this quote perfectly suits this current situation of mine. I don't want to wait for the right moment for my body to get back to work, I'll just let my mind travels, then my fingers will do their tasks. Remember that, our body corresponds to our mind. Let it work, then your body will follow.
We are always bound to wait for the time. In the morning, we always wait for the sun to shine, and for the alarm to buzz. We always wait for the kettle to whistle so we can pour a cup of coffee, and the bell sound of the microwave oven so we can draw the toasted bread. At noon, we always wait for the short-hand of time to stop at 12 O'clock so we can take our lunch and break from our exhausting work, or at any time according to our timetable.
If our work is tiring and so productive, we always want the hands of time to run faster and reach the end of the day, so we can go back to our abode and pamper our tired bodies. At night, we want everything to finish forthwith so we can throw our bodies into our beds. And for some users here in readcash, they always wait for the perfect time to come so they can publish their articles and are excited for Rusty's visit soon.
Back on track, we always wait for the right moment to come because we thought that it is the right thing to do. After all, that is already implanted in our minds. We always thought that things will fall into places so we shouldn't stress ourselves out chasing the moment, as we thought that the right thing will come at the right time.
Sometimes, we want to do something but our lazy body will only dictate our mind, "I'll do it tomorrow." And both just correspond to each other, both become lazy to work things out. When tomorrow arrives, the same thing happens. Procrastination takes over the body and compromised everything.
And then things happened when you least expect them. Because in this world, the only constant thing is "Change" and we can not stop it to happen. Days have passed and opportunities to execute the plan or to pursue the goal have just been wasted because you only thought that things will happen in God's due time. We always include quotes and sayings into our lives that sometimes compromise the plans, goals, and things that should be accomplished.
We are not living in a fantasy world that impossible things are possible to happen. That you can reach the top of the mountain in just a matter of seconds, or change the episode of your life in just one click. And those quotes and sayings are possible to happen if you just follow and believe in them.
Seriously? This, perhaps, is the reason why Juan Tamad (A Filipino folklore character popular for being so lazy) just waited for the guava fruit to fall from the tree because he thought about this quote as he was lazy to reach the fruit with his hand. Yes, I believe that everything will fall into the right places at the right time. However, if you will stop your course because of this saying, then this is impossible to happen.
To wait doesn't mean you need to stop. To wait for the moment needs you to keep going and do the work, because, after that, the results will handle themselves. And always remember that we cannot turn back the hands of time because it kept on running. So if you missed locating the right stop, then you will miss the next one.
If you want to do something today, do it right away and do not wait for tomorrow. Stop that mañana habit, and stop putting off the tasks for later. If you have something to accomplish, stop waiting for the deadline to draw closer before completing the task. Instead, complete the task sooner so you'll have more room for rest, more room for achieving more goals.
If you want to achieve your goals, start making that moment happen today, not tomorrow, not next month, not next year. Isn't it rewarding every time you achieved your tasks or goals unexpectedly and earlier than your expected time?
And on your way towards achieving your goals, you will find real happiness that will make your journey perfect. Because it is not in the destination that we will feel happy, it is in our journey where we can find true happiness.
The most important and hardest and most saddening lesson i learned in my life:
Take opportunity when they present themselves.
The time to do ANYTHING is right NOW!
Don't wake up one day to discover that the things you were waiting for aren't gonna happen, the things you wanted to do aren't possible anymore and the time you have left is way too short!
I just want to tell you thank you so much for writing this. You are so very right and I feel like this post was exactly what I needed to give me a boot to get my head out of my butt. I've been semi-negative the last week (ok, couple of weeks) and "waiting" for an outcome. It's time to take the step and make an outcome one way or another for me. I need to get things sorted, get things moving and focus. Focus. FOCUS! I also want to thank you for this: https://read.cash/@Jane/happiness-is-a-journey-not-a-destination-676aff0f
Thank you for sharing your story, and thank you for choosing your words in such a way that it causes motivation, rather than a feeling of inadequacy. I really needed a positive pick-me-up today and I want to thank you for that. I hope you won't mind, but I'm busy with a post and I'm going to tag you when I'm done with it because your two posts are the inspiration to do so in a positive and motivated way, rather than to just vent frustration. Thank you again :)
wait for the alarm to go off? Who does that? Seriously Jane, who does that? Hahaha
And I agree, being patient doesn't mean you shouldn't be doing anything.
And I also agree, take the moment and make it perfect. I think it's the perfect moment to marry, I'm going to propose to this girl later, if she says no, NO. I will not take NO for an answer, I will take that moment and make it perfect, will just drop by quickly in a hardware store, for some duct tape, rope, sack and a lot of zip ties. Oh yeah, don't forget that sharp knife too. This will be perfect. :D
And what's with the checker, should it be 100% so our favorite random thing visit us?
I said to buzz and go off . lol 😅 haha. It's a different story lol. Lage ka pilosopo 🤣
Nope, may mga tao kasing masyadi judgemental kaya ayan ang proof . lol
Kaya po ako ngayon Ms. Jane Binabago ko na ang lahat sa akin 😊 yung mga dating napapabayaan ko ang aking mga dapat gagawin yung sinasantabi ko muna dahil tinatamad, ngayon binago ko na bago pa mahuli ang lahat. Katulad nalang po ng sa site na to 🥰 nasa isip ko non wag ako mag ganito pero pinilit ko kong mag ganito kasi sayang ang opportunity na kumikita ng BCH ng libre ng nasa bahay lang at magsusulat lang 😊 lahat ng pwedeng gawin para sa kinabukasan ginagawa ko na para walang pagsisisi sa huli.
I think it is the 'laziness' in us working when we tend to 'wait' for what we call the perfect moment. And I am guilty of doing this too at times. It is a habit that needed to be kicked out lest it will make home :)
Hello my beautiful Jane, as always writing beautiful and interesting things that leave us great reflections, you shared a really interesting topic, which falls like a ring to the finger with this pandemic.
There are many people that with the confinement had the opportunity to learn something new, but there was always some excuse to leave that aside, until the situation normalized in their country and they had to return to their jobs, then they begin to regret, for not having taken advantage of that time at home, that is why there is a very famous saying: "Do not leave for tomorrow, what you can do today".
No doubt it is necessary to organize ourselves, evaluate our time, and understand that nothing happens overnight, we may have many dreams, desires, but one thing is to talk and another to act, today is what matters, and depending on what we do today, is that we will see great fruits in our future, in conclusion, do more, talk less, in the end, the only ones responsible for our success or failure will be ourselves, greetings.
As always. You are leaving a wonderful and meaningful comment.
There are many things to do while waiting for this pandemic to end. Just like blogging here.. A great opportunity to earn. . if we can't do what we want.. Then set a new one 🙂 for as long as we won't be stagnant..
Time always pass whenever you try or not. We always thinking when the time came we will do work but time doesn't not remain same it will pass.
We always afraid because of failure but in my view failure make you strong inner self.
We need to try to every time for achieving and getting something New 🆕
In order for us to make a history kn making our own legacy is to start now and don't hesitate to fail no matter what..Failure will make us bolder and strongers. We need to take the initiative to take the firat step and that first step ks this three letter word "TRY" . everhthing starts from this word and because of this word many people have become successful now. Goodmorning po😊
Someone said something and I quote: "When a defining moment comes, define the moment or else the moment will define you". When preparation meets opportunity, success is inevitable.
This one just reminded me of myself procrastinating everytime I think of something. And this made me do now the things I can do today without waiting for another sun to rise. Thank you so much for this motivation, Jane ! 😍✨
Lolz.... Sometimes yeah, easier said than done.... But most of the time, about 90%, it works real good.... Like how much I procrastinate laundry, and now doing it like I planned to... Really works amazingly great... Why? I'm almost laundry-free to date... Now, I need to work on my carpentry projects as well if I expect output by the end of the year! Lolz... Really, good read, can very much relate
Waiting means doing something progressive too and putting your trust to God that will sustain everything. Btw, nakakaloka na mga plagiarism check na yan hahah! Nkakapanibago...
I always say po ate na bukas nalang to, mamaya nalang, kapag tinatamad ako magsulat pero at the end, Ginagawa ko agad kasi naaalala ko yung goals ko yung pangarap ko at nasasayangan ako sa isang araw na walang kita. Pero minsan din naman eh need ko din ng pahinga para sa health. Pero bago ako mag bakasyon ng isang araw sinisigurado ko talaga na may draft ako para may maipupublish parin ako at kahit di muna ako masyadong active.
Nung bago talaga ako bumalik dito ulit nawalan ako ng gana. As in, hanggang words nalang ako pero wala naman akong ginagawa edi wala din. Tsaka isa din talaga yan sa regret ko yung puro ako sabi, puro ako antay, pero wala naman akong ginagawa para mag improve at matuto. Sinayang ko din yunh opportunidad na habang andayan pa, nawala pa. 🥲
i feel like procastinating all the time but then i realized this will not have any positive effect in me. in fact, it will just leave me with tons of workloads. in conclusion, every time is precious so let's not waste it like how we value life.
Si mommy galit na galit pag pinagpapabukas pa ang mga bagay bagay kahit pa kaya nang tapusin ngayon. Galit yun sa "Mamaya na!" Kaya siguro madami din syang naachieve nong kabataan nya. Look, my own money sya ngayong old na sya, nay ipon kasi siya kasi nag sipag sya. Hindi nya sinanay ang sarili nya na maging tamad at sa "Mañana" habit na iyan. I want to bw like her kaso, haha ewan nalang muna.
Haha . bay hndi ka nalahian ng kasipagan nya? 😅 kaya nga galaw galaw dn tayo, kung may gusto gawin. Now na. Kc bka wala ng bukas eh ka nga ni @MissJo.. Ang harsh 🤣
Isa din ako sa mga nagsasabi ng "I'll do it tomorrow." minsan. At minsan di na din ako natutuwa. Kaya, ayun. Pinipilit kong labanan at sinisikap na umpisahan 'yung mga bagay na naiisip kong gawin.
I literally read it in a poetic way. 😅
To be honest, you're one of my inspiration both noise and readcash. I really admire how you handle things out despite of busy schedules of yours. I really like your mindset, you're really are a positive thinker 🌻
Well spoken ma'am. Instead of sitting and waiting for an opportunity to open it's better we stand and make the opportunity available. What differentiate the successful ones from others is the extra effort they put into what they are doing.
Exactly. How can we achieve something if we will just slack in our room.waiting for that freakn time 😅
Better grind and strive and make that moment happen.
Totoo to. Sa buhay natin we always think na magiging okay ang lahat sa tamang panahon but we failed to do our part. Lagi nating inaantay si right time pero wala naman tayong ginagawa at madalas tatamad tamad. Quotes are made to inspire and motivate people in some ways if only we're going to analyze them well but most of the time they were used as an excuse to do nothing katulad nung nabanggit mo kay Juan tamad.
Sobra. Ang daming qoutes na nagiging excuse. Gaya ng nabanggit ko dati na. Everything happens for a reason.. Khit kasalan naman tlga. Isisisi sa qoutesb🤣
Kung anong pwedeng gawin ngayon, gawin na. Di natin alam kung may bukas pa ba. Ang harsh ko naman dito. 🤣
Pero yun nga ate, wag na hintayin ang perfect time, everyday is a perfect day if you choose to make it perfect.
Do the right thing at the right time. Many times, I would be in bed waiting for a particular time to do something and I would only be there doing nothing. Then I had be like "why don't you do something now that you have nothing doing". I will immediately jump out of bed and do those things and at the end, I realize I have got much time to rest or do other things.
We shouldn't wait for the perfect time to do something because we may not have such opportunity again.
Indeed.. We may lose the opportunity to do things. Every hour, every day. Is an opportunity . .. Because we don't know what will happen tomorrow or later. So better do it now.
The title is catchy, one thing that came in to my mind is the market hahaha. Minsan nag-iintay ako kung tamang moment na ba 'yun para mag-buy or wait more hahaha 'di ko alam if applicable ito jan😆
"Isn't it rewarding every time you achieved your tasks or goals unexpectedly and earlier than your expected time?"
I love this. I had this mindset in read.cash. Goal ko talaga is maka-5 sponsees every month then I realized, bakit 5 lang per month, kung pwede namang makarami diba? Lots of unexpected achieved goals this month because I worked harder than before.
With that being said, let us not waste time. Time is gold as they said so we must take advantage of it. Let us consume time effectively or else time will consume us. 😁
If we wait for the perfect time to do something or dedicate to something then it might not happen. I agree don't wait for the time to come and don't let your to do list piling up it will be harder to keep up with yourself.
Indeed. It would be harder to achieve all things on the list if we keep on piling it and not completing anything because of waiting for the right moment.
The most important and hardest and most saddening lesson i learned in my life: Take opportunity when they present themselves.
The time to do ANYTHING is right NOW! Don't wake up one day to discover that the things you were waiting for aren't gonna happen, the things you wanted to do aren't possible anymore and the time you have left is way too short!
(like I did)
