The Wait

Sometimes I feel like I live for the weekend... and I don't like it. I spend the whole week waiting for this friday freedom that will save me. Then before I know it, it's back to monday, and I go back into waiting mode... It's a vicious cycle that I am trying to end.

I think it is much better to live for the moment. It is much better to live for today, this second, instead of living for when the clock turns 5:00, or the paycheck in 2 weeks or the vacation in 2 months, or quitting the job in 3 years.

A lot of the time, I forget and I get into this mindset of "I just need to get to this day on the calendar, and everything is going to suck until I get there, but once I'm there all will be good". I try not to think this way because then you don't live in the moment, you are just waiting for something to happen, and once it happens and passes your just waiting for that next event or whatever it may be. You skip out on so much good life when you just wait for things to happen.

So I say do it NOW! Don't say that you have to wait 2 years for that salary raise, be the best employee and ask for it now. Don't wait for the perfect moment to make a move on a girl or you will spend your life waiting! I think as a society we spend way too much time looking forward to things when you need to instead let things happen when they will and focus on being happy RIGHT NOW!!

I am saying this, but everyday, I feed this habit that makes me unproductive and waste perfectly good time in my finite life. We have limited time, so there is no point in waiting around aimlessly!
