Whether it’s losing weight, going to the gym, starting a blog, training for a marathon, keeping up with out of town friends and family more often, applying for new jobs because you thoroughly despise your current one, learning how to cook, organizing receipts, saving money, planning a trip, or really anything in between, why wait? There have been times I’ve wanted to do certain things, but I would wait and wait. And then, months later (or a year later), I would wish I already started to do them. Lately I’ve been trying to stay in the mindset that if I want to do something, I’m going to make it happen, and I’m not going to wait for the right time. The right time is now.
I completely agree..it may be really really REALLY tough to stay motivated, but “you will regret tomorrow what you do not do today” Guess I’m hitting the gym later, haha!

This Looks Good On You
Haha I’m with you on that one!! I always make excuses, but no more!! xo, Julie
This quote is just amazing! I am going to write it down and put it on my bulletin board of inspiration:) Thank you Julie!
Aw so glad!! I’m going to keep looking back at it, too!! xo, Julie
I love this quote. I think of it a lot when I’m trying to debate starting some new project. My dad also used to give me an old ann landers quote when I complained about how long something would take. So if I said something like “ughhh it’s going to take me 5 years to finish! I’ll be 30!” he would say “How old will you be in 5 years if you don’t finish?”
He won every time.
Ah, LOVE your dads old quote, too! That’s a great one. So so true! xo, Julie
Yes! Everyone needs this reminder… I need it about the gym. 🙂

This is so true–I’m super busy, so I tend to get into the “tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow” mindset and I end up not making as much progress (in a bunch of different aspects) as I could if I just started TODAY. Love this!
SAME! Totally with you on that one! xo, Julie
this is exactly what i needed to read. something i already knew, but needed to see it. x

Aw, good. SAME with me! xo, Julie
Sometimes you need a kick in the ass to get things done. This is where friends, family, boyfriends, etc. come into play. I’ve put myself is so many uncomfortable or stressful situations JUST so I could get something done, and it worked! It’s called tough love as I say 🙂
I totally agree with you!! xo, Julie
I agree with you! This is motivation to get the stuff you need to get done, done!

This post comes at such a great time for me, I’m really hating my job right now and I’ve been thinking about leaving and focusing my time on something I actually enjoy. I know I’d be happy to look back on that decision a year from now.

Aw, well there ya go! Hope you find a job you love soon! xo, Julie
So, so true! I’ve fallen victim to waiting too. “Tomorrow” always sounds more appealing (and easier) but sometimes you just have to dive in! Thanks for the reminder.
Isn’t That Charming.
