No More "Thens"

With my coaching I see it all the time: people not taking any steps towards implementing their dreams.  Whether it’s related to their business or personal endeavors – here is a gentle nudge for these folks:  this is it.   You only have today, now, the present, this moment.  The tomorrows and yesterdays are illusions of the mind – they are past memories or hopeful futures, there is only the present time and until you accept this you will always be living in the past or living in the “then”.  The “thens” is a time frame that is based on something else happening prior. We’ve all been there at one point or another, the problem is when people chose to forever, permanently reside in the “then”. 
“After my big promotion, then I’ll treat myself to that vacation in Europe.” 
“After the kids are all grown up, then I’ll go back to school.”
“Once work isn’t so busy- then I’ll take time off with the family.”
No more “thens”.  Do it now.  Life is too precious to be squandered away with minimal fulfillment or joy.  Do it now for no one but yourself.  Do it now because you deserve it.
