Of course, if you do it now, it is done, but if you do it then, you will have to wait to do it. “Now” is proactive, and a do-it-now attitude is generally considered a positive trait.
On the other hand: Pondering “Now vs. Then” is a battle already lost. “Then” wins when you ponder or prioritize.
At least when you prioritize, instead of pondering a few objectives, get it done first. “Now” is proactive, and a do-it-now attitude is generally considered a positive trait.
I used to want to be somebody. Now I want to remember who I am.
I used to love positive thinking books. Now I see how enjoyable people are when they are not harmful.
I used to wonder how I would ever pick one favorite color. Now I see the color of the sky and the mountains, and all that grows is enough.
I used to look for who was right and wrong when elections came. Now I hope to see who is willing to ask what is right and wrong.
I used to think that accomplishments were necessary to validate my efforts. Now I hope those I care for a will, in their actions, look for right and wrong and what is positive.
I used to hope for more blessings. Now I can't count all that I have had.
I used to try to say more when more needed to be said. Now I hope I can say less.
I used to hope to know and learn more. Now I hope to remember what I already know.
