If there is something you desire to do, do it! Do it NOW! Waiting for the perfect time to get started only delays progress and time—time that you could actually be doing what you love.
I’ve been feeling this a lot lately. As we know, tomorrow’s not promised. All we have is today. I don’t know about you, but I would hate to leave this world without at least attempting to do the things I love. I just can’t do it, and won’t.
Since it’s Friday and January 31, I thought I’d share my Facebook memory from Friday, January 31, 2020.

That was five years ago. Boy, does time fly! Since then, I have taken more chances than I can name. At that time, my brother, who was my same age, had just died. A few months before he died, he had finally quit a job he had hated for years and ventured out on his own. Y’all, after he died, there was no way I was going to keep missing opportunities. I was serious about living without regrets. Now, I’m not saying all of the chances I took were successful because they surely weren’t; however, at least I tried.
Listen, take chances. Even if people look at you sideways or think you’re the craziest person in the world, take them. Maybe you’ll be successful at some, maybe not. At least you won’t live with the regret of not trying.
Well, this is all I have at the moment. Thank you for reading. I pray you have a wonderful day and blessed weekend.♥️
Wrote the following on January 16, 2023 — “Never stop believing. In spite of the struggles, heartaches and setbacks, never stop believing that the dream God placed in your heart will happen. It may take days, months, years or even decades, but IT WILL HAPPEN. Just keep believing and leave the timing to God.”
Habakkuk 2:2 (NIV). Then the Lord replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.”
A few years ago, I shared Matthew A. Cherry’s story about his desire to be nominated for an Oscar award. Eight years after he tweeted about it, he was nominated for one and won! Here’s what I shared:

Been feeling Trent Shelton’s message more and more lately. I guess you could say that’s what these past 30 years (since the knowledge of my firstborn’s conception) have been—me living in survival mode. Now, it’s time to thrive.♥️ ~Shaun
