Motivate Me: The role of emotions

We are quick to anger, yet slow to tell someone we love them. We are quick to blame others, but not admit to making mistakes ourselves. And it is easier to make an excuse than to do the work.

What a crazy mixed up world we live in. 

It seems that half the world is obese and the other half starving to death. Where those children who have access to education don't want to go, and those who do, don't have a school to go to. Whilst no-one said life was fair, most of us don't make the most of the chances we have been  given. Where the good die young, and the bad have a good time - usually at another's expense.

We save things for "best" and keep things for a rainy day. We keep the good china and the best chrystal for those special occassions, that usually never happen because everyone is too busy doing nothing to spend an hour with friends.

We know we cannot live forever, yet we waste time every day as if we can go on forever. We can't. Things wither and die and we will spend an eternity locked in a box under a tonne of earth. We can hope for reincarnation and life after death - but nothing is certain. And by the time you find out - it's way too late. You cannot turn back time, you cannot hop into the TARDIS and zap back a couple of decades to try again. It doesn't work like that. But you'd think it did the way people carry on.

So do me a favour. Call your parents, your siblings and anyone else you care about and tell them that you do. Don't assume they know. Then get out your goal list, your mad "do before you die list" and ask yourself why you haven't achieved what you have decided is important to you. Don't wait until tomorrow - for some people it may not arrive.
