The “When” List: When Is It the Right Time?

 

Here is a list of famous “when’s” that I hear all the time.  Take a look and see what is on your when list.

 

“Work is really busy right now; I’ll get to ______ when things slow down.”

 

“I’ll quit smoking…soon.”

 

“I’ll start eating better after this dessert.”

 

“I need to buy this and then I’ll start paying down my credit cards.”

 

“I’ll get in shape and lose weight after the holidays.”

 

“I’ll travel soon.”

 

“I’ll get to it when I have more money.”

 

“I’ll quit drinking…soon.”

 

“I’ll get organized…when.”

 

“I’ll go back to school…when”

 

“I’ll get in a relationship when I am more settled.”

 

“I’ll get married when my career is more developed.”

 

“We’ll have kids when the time is right.”

 

“I’ll spend more time with the family…when.”

 

“I’ll volunteer…when.”

 

Here are some famous annual when’s:

 

“After the summer.”

 

After the winter.”

 

“When spring comes."

 

When school is out.”

 

“During vacation.”

 

The biggest famous annual when…”New Years.”

 

That is the mother of all when’s…the infamous…the one we all use and use and use and use…

 

So, when is the right time? 

 

When will we do the things we want to do?

 

When will we do the things we should do?

 

When will we do the things that will be healthy and good for us?

 

When will we do the things that we enjoy?

 

When is the right time?

 

When…When…When??

 

As long as you have a “When List”, the right time will be “When.”

 

The life you are waiting for, the life you want, the life you will enjoy is waiting for you “when.”

 

Unfortunately for us when is always not today, so we never have what we want now.

 

Until you replace “When” with “Now” your life is on hold.

 

Trust me you would not even be here if everyone waited for the “right time” to have kids.

 

The time is right, right now for you to create changes in your life.

 

Get off the “When List” and get on the “Now List.”

 

So “when is the right time?’

 

The time is right, today!

 

So, whatever you are putting on hold in your life on the “When List” put on the “Now List” and start actually living the life you want.

 

Like the old saying goes, “There’s no time like today.”

 

Wishing you a great "Now!”
