A Little Less Conversation, A Little More Action, Baby
Swaying in the wind,
The blackbird still sings.
Birds don’t wait for the perfect conditions to go about their business. They don’t wait for life to become stable. If the wind blows, and there’s singing to be done, then singing is what they’ll do. We would do well to follow their example.
How many times have you put off doing something, waiting for everything to be just so, a perfect situation? Withholding our gifts and our efforts only postpones our chances for happiness. Why wait for some illusory time - a time that might never come - before we begin a project, or take the next step in a plan that we might have? We can talk about things all we want, but there comes a point where action and experience is the only way we can proceed. Don’t wait for things to be perfect before acting. There is only one perfect moment, and that is the only moment, and that moment is now.
