Don't Let The Good Days Slip Away
If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade.
“Don’t count the days, make the days count.” ― Muhammad Ali

Have you ever made plans for the weekend that didn't turn out as expected?
Someone may have fallen ill, an emergency at work, or the other party cancels on you.
Last week, my children requested I take them to the park after work.
I had the option to go with them during the week, but I committed to going with them on Friday or Saturday evening over the weekend.
We had to postpone until Sunday because one of them fell ill on Friday.
Unfortunately, I also fell ill by Sunday, which led to us canceling completely.
Many other scenarios in life can be compared to this.
When you wake up feeling creative, delay your usual chores and channel that energy right away.
If someone you care about comes to mind, don't hesitate to reach out and see how they're doing.
If inspiration hits, don't expect to recall it later. Jot it down.
Seize the moment while it lasts.
Doing your best work is often a matter of timing.
Make the most of the good days and don't let them go to waste.
What is the thing you're postponing till tomorrow instead of doing today?
What are you going to do about it now?
