Planned spontaneity

Today’s Just Be thought

This one is technically not a Just Be thought that focuses on the moment, but it kind of does relate.

It’s about procrastination – something I struggle with daily. You’ve seen my boxes of stuff that have yet to be unpacked. So I know a thing or three about the lure of the beast.

But for other things, I choose not to procrastinate and choose to live and act in the moment by doing what needs to be done.

Planning for action and making small daily steps to a goal is so different from taking immediate random action. The end result may look the same but inner peace comes from the small daily steps.

For planned immediate action, I’ve thought ahead to consider what might be needed. Then when an opportunity comes at the moment, I’ll take it if I haven’t already planned to do so. An example is purchasing and getting installed this power backup generator. I thought about it for a long time, and set things up financially, slowly but surely, to allow myself to be in a good position. When the opportunity arose I stopped thinking and took immediate action to call and set up the unit. It seemed like a spontaneous action but it was actually put in place one ‘today’ decision at a time.

And now here’s the quote

A year from now you may wish you had started today.” ~ Karen Lamb
