Stop waiting

Eni ti on duro de ise ju akan, a pe le ti omi
He who waits for the crab to blink, will stay long by the water side.

I got into talking with a friend, and we dicussed how I always wanted to do more, as I have felt like I could do more and should be more. Lets just say in my early twenty's I talked a lot of game and ish about doing this and doing that, and retiring by 30 (what a dream). I am not retired and dont see retirement any time soon. Lets just say, again, with proper guidance and mentoring, I might be retired or almost there, or felt like I had done a lot and look for more. But I digress.

He initaited the conversation by mentioning someone's house that was in the neighborhood we were hanging out. As we walked, he told me somethings the guy had done and how much money he had made. MOney aside, soiunded like things I wanted to do; quite related stuff. While we talked, I told him of they ideas i had, and how a few things were in the way. Had they not, I would have been larger than life. Then he mentioned alternatives. If you cant register a company here cant you register somewhere else. Light bulb moment. He mentioned other ideas way around my obstacles. But most of all what he asked was his: when things settled down for you and all this obstacles clear out, are you going to start from the beginning or continue from where you would be if you start right now?

So I started to think. All the time I heard there is no way here or the road terminated there, if I had trudged on who knows what I would have accomplished? Who knows what door I may have opned for myself or what door I would notice has always happened. One of the things I have observed is how we compartmentalize in everyday life. You see a litle child been attacked you step in, but when you are been attacked you are quite and let yourself be rained on. You walk away from one situation and stay in the other just as well. I think I am digressing.

Well I dont know what you have set aside for when things change for you. Fact is in life I think and I do believe some things will have to wait. All others, you have to get down on quick. Obstacles are like people saying no to you, and in the words of Someone "Never let anyone tell you no if they are not in position to tell you yes". So go out start doing something, a little at a time towards the one big thing that needs to happen for you.

Waiting for a new job, start buying your outfits. You got to wear a suit, shit and tie, a skirt, a blouse and such. If they ask you to start tomorrow, you either go shopping tonite or go naked.
You like the girl, ask her out, talk to her, hint her, else she will think she is just your friend.
Your boyfriend getting tired of the relationship, well dump him quick or spice it up (okay that sounded corny.

I am getting carried away. Let me know if you feel this and if there is something you need to start working on. I have 2 books on my mind, and some other business projects. I think I got some work to do. Peace. Good night.
