THE THING about NOT waiting is this: It doesn’t require that we begin doing everything at once, trying to make up for lost years. We just have to stop waiting. I looked up the opposite of waiting. Here’s what I found: advancing, beginning, doing, forging, forwarding, going, moving, carrying on, going ahead, taking off. Words that denote action, movement, doing something. Notice it doesn’t involve what the size of the action is. It merely shows that waiting has been replaced with doing.   IS IT TOO LATE FOR ME???? 😞 Still true today!!

This post is from the movie "Midnight in Paris", naturally one of my favorites.  The actor playing Hemingway says to Gil', "Vicente lost his hand from a grenade and he was young and brave and the hill was soggy from days of rain and it slopped down toward a road and there were many German soldiers on the road and the idea was to aim for the first group and if our aim was true, we could delay them.  Are you afraid of dying Gil (yes, my greatest fear).  Well, it's something all men before you have done and all men will do."  Homage from Woody Allen 

"Other intrinsic things have lasted over the years as well. Love, honor, loyalty, friendship, good manners, good times. They're sometimes harder to come by but more treasured once they're found."
