Have you ever wondered why people so talented never go and pursue their dreams and ambitions? why is it that person who could easily be very successful isn't?
Well i have given this some thought and I think it is because we just spend our lives waiting. Yes, waiting.
When we were little kids, we had to wait to open the Christmas gifts, wait for dessert, wait for your birthday presents and cake, we had to wait for our parents to pick us up or for the bus to take us home. And yeah, these are some things you HAVE to do, these are things that you have to know when you are young, you can't NOT wait to cross the street or you can't just decide to go back home by yourself when you are 8 right? duh, obviously!
But I guess that just like everything else in life, everything that can be good, we abuse it. Stuff like being impulsive.. It is usually categorized as a bad characteristic instead of a good one.. Of course! I'm not saying we should do everything without thinking! everything HAS to be in balance.. but us people we love to be extremists.
I just think we should learn when to be impulsive, and when should we wait. And if you think about it, waiting is worse than doing! because even if you did something wrong without thinking, hopefully you'll learn from it, and next time you'll just know better.
How many people's life is not as good as it could be because they wait. The woman who waits for her husband to change when he hits her, the ones in love that wait for the other person to take the first step, the rockband that waits in the garage to just magically be 'discovered', the artists who wait for a 'good opportunity' to show their work, the businessperson who waits for that promotion he always wanted, etc... again: why wait?! :)
Well my point is, we should all learn to just go for it. Even start small, eat something that you would never thought you would try!
(and yes I'm in a very optimistic mood today hahaha)
