And yet, once we take hold of our choices we take hold of our own freedom. Hi David, welcome and thanks for the comment. I'm glad I could create a little action-fire underneath of you. Your little poem made me chuckle. Stacy, you're absolutely right. There is so much more juice in those activities in which we just jump into the "then" stuff.

It's amazing the lies we tell ourselves to get out of living full out. When I figured that out about the "when...then" game, I also realized that, for me, the only thing to do when I caught myself playing it was to scrap the "when" (the lie that there was something I needed to do *first*) and move directly into doing the "then" (what I obviously really wanted to be doing). Life is much juicier now. :) Great post, Chris!

I appreciate your contributions and thoughts, you add sole to soul with doing it now. I once wrote a very bad zen poem: Now and then I realize there is no then in zen. Thanks for the post...it is on to the next task pronto.

It's sooo much easier to leave the choice out there as someone else's - or fate's - responsibility than to realize the choice, the opportunity, and the possibility is in our hands. Scary, but exciting and true. Hanna Chris,

Absolutely! It’s sooo much easier to leave the choice out there as someone else’s – or fate’s – responsibility than to realize the choice, the opportunity, and the possibility is in our hands. Scary, but exciting and true.
