My dear friends...
And Time rolls on...doesn't it? So fast that it makes my head spin...
I mean, look at it! It's already February. A moment ago it was Christmas, a breath ago it was the beginning of the New Year - and now it's February!
In a second or two nearly 10% of the year will be GONE. That's one-tenth of the time you thought you had to do what you thought you were going to do in 2008.
In other words, don't waste another minute getting started. Often, it's "getting started" that's the toughest for some people. Getting started on that diet, getting started on that project, getting started on that new way of life...
We keep looking for "a sign" that this is the "right time" or the "right way." Well, consider this: What you are reading here could be your sign.
What made you read this material today? What caused you to open this e-mail publication and start in on this? Do you know? Do you have any idea?
You did. YOU caused all this to happen. You followed an impulse, and here you are reading these words. Now pay attention to that. Pay heed. Pay notice. Watch. Observe. Witness what is going on. Consider the possibility that you are telling yourself something here. Consider the possibility that you are telling yourself to get going, get moving, get on with it - whatever "it" is.
Doing what you said you would
What was it that you told yourself on January 1st that you were absolutely going to do in 2008? For that matter, what was it that you told someone else last week that you were going to do?
Okay, get going. Time is running out. We have encountered what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. memorably termed the fierce urgency of Now.
Now is a magic time. It is magic because it is the only time when anything happens. So if you want to make something happen, you're going to have to begin to make it happen Now.
RIGHT Now. Not in "a couple of now's" from Now, but RIGHT Now.
This goes for wanting to change your life or wanting to change the world.
AS AN EXAMPLE...and I realize this is a small matter...unless it is not...but...have you decided on something, have you picked out something, for your Beloved on Valentine's Day? Well, you've better get to it. Time is running out. You don't have to always wait until the last minute and then try to find something halfway decent on the way home February 14. You can handle all this right now.
AS AN EXAMPLE...do you owe someone some money that you have promised to pay back, and just haven't done so yet? Would Now be a good time to keep that promise, even if it makes things a little tight in your world for a week or so?
AS AN EXAMPLE...is someone waiting for you to keep a promise on something you said you were going to do? Would Now be a good time to get the ball rolling on that, finally?
And what, I ask again, have you promised yourself? Is there a chit out there that your Self is holding, waiting for You to redeem it?
Is this the year you promised yourself a new body? Is this the year you promised yourself a new job? Is this the year you promised yourself a new relationship?
Okay, folks...just a short noticement here...
It's FEBRUARY.
