Don't Wait Until It's Too Late by Bill Myers

I recently read a post on a discussion forum written by a man who had spent years planning to take time off from work to tour the U.S. with his family in a motorhome.

But even with all his planning, his job somehow always got in the way, and he never was able to schedule the time to take the trip.

Recently, he became incapacitated, and will never be able to travel.

He wrote that one of the biggest regrets in his life was he waited way too long to follow his dream.  

He spent too much time working, and not enough time living.

His advice to his own son and to others who read his post was this . . .

"Pursue your adventures now.  Don't wait until the timing is perfect - because it never will be."

I agree with his advice.

Life is short, and in the end your biggest regrets will be the things you didn't do.

Look at your own life.  What things will you regret not having done or at least not having tried?

Maybe now is the time to make a list and start following through on those dreams and plans.

If not now, when?
