Stop Putting Things Off

No one knows how long a life we have ... so why do we save things for the best or even put off doing things until tomorrow? These are my thoughts ... I hope they will be a lightbulb moment for you. Thank you for your kind messages and support ... I enjoy hearing from you.

While relaxing watching the television one evening,

Not really paying much attention to the actual programme,

I found my eyes wandering to the footwear the ladies were wearing.

They were all in lovely high heels and one in particular was wearing a beautiful pair of stiletto heels,

Something which I loved to wear.

This got me thinking about a gorgeous pair of shoes I have,

A pair which I wore once as I was saving them for special occasions.

They still look brand new and they will stay that way because I can't wear high heels anymore.

My name is Jacqueline and I have bad hips which is why I can't wear high heels.

As I pictured my gorgeous pair of shoes neatly wrapped in tissue paper and safely tucked into their shoebox,

I began thinking about the things we put off in life.

Such as wearing clothes or shoes because we want to save them for best.

Or going for a promotion because we don't think we're good enough yet.

Or asking someone out because we don't think they will say yes.

Or starting a new project because we don't feel ready yet and the list goes on.

Most of the time when we put things off,

For whatever reason,

We never ever do them.

Why,

I asked myself.

Because life passes by so much quicker than we think it will and before we know it,

We either can't fit into our saved for best clothes and shoes or we still don't believe in ourselves and give up trying anything or we just get too old.

So the next time you buy a pair of shoes or new clothes,

Wear them.

When you get a good idea,

Act on it immediately.

When you want to do something,

Find a way to do it now.

Life is a beautiful journey that is meant to be embraced to the fullest every day.

Stop putting things off until tomorrow.

Stop saving things for tomorrow.

Stop putting your life on hold until tomorrow.

Life is for living today and the purpose of our lives is to be happy.

We only live once,

But if we do it right,

Once is enough.

So,

Sing like no one's listening.

Love like you've never been hurt.

Dance like nobody's watching and live like it's heaven on earth.

Grab life with both hands and go do it today.

Thanks for listening.

Before I go,

I'd like to ask you a question.

What if you put off until tomorrow?

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏 I'm busting out the shawl( bought for awedding but dudnt arrivecon time) ,and shoes oh do I have shoes to bring out ... And maybe even the fancy dress for a Sunday best !!!!!🙏🕯️🙏🙏🕯️🙏

Thank you! This resonates with my entire being 🥰

For the record, you can absolutely where your high heels while sitting on the couch… no need to walk in them at all! 😊Just enjoy their company for a good movie sitting with your feet propped up in luxury ❤️

Wow! Thank you for this wise advice. I am going to wear my pretty summer sandals that I have put away for " special occasions"
Every day I/we wake up is a special occasion.

Thanks for great reminder to not put off the best life has to offer 🙂

I loved this. It was exactly what I needed to hear! Big thanks. 🙏

I continue to try to live for the day. Thank you for the reminder 🙏🏾

It's only a short journey.
All we have to do is enjoy it💫♥️✨

Wow! You are absolutely right- don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do and enjoy today! Thank you for your wisdom ! Much love and gratitude to you 🙏❤️

So true! My mantra this year has been “If not NOW… when?” So I wore the bikini… tent camped out in the wild…. slowed down to eliminate multi tasking. Now , I listen for the sound of my heart beat, the sound of my deep longing and don’t quiet & shout them down w/I’m too old, not now, not yet. If not now, when….

Well said Jacqueline. Your words were brutally true and profound. Yes, I do have 'estiletos' around me. Thanks for bringing a reminder to live now... fully. Namaste 🙏 ❤

TY Jacqueline for this inspirational talk I really needed to receive this today.I turned 50 this year and life hits differently at this stage...lol I realize I have alot on my bucket list that I've put off for far too long.Thanks again for this reminder to live in the now tomorrow isn't promised.I appreciate you Be Blessed beautiful soul...Asé🙏🏽

I recognise so much of myself in this it made me sad. Having internalised all those messages as a child, to keep things nice, not to waste them on your every day, it can be hard to shake. But out every day is all the day we’ll ever have, so why not love it now, before it’s gone?
Thank you so much for sharing 🙏

So true and so important! Thank you for your inspiring thoughts on this. 💞☀️
