Who doesn’t know the phrase: “I’ll start tomorrow.” And very often, it works just like that famous sign outside the pub saying “Free beer tomorrow.” You come back the next day, and the sign is still there, pushing you off for yet another day. And so it goes… until eventually, you give up. So tell me: when is the best time to plant a tree? 25 years ago. And when is the second-best time? Now. How about starting now with the very thing you’ve mentally pushed to tomorrow? Tomorrow Never Comes – So Why Wait?
Arnold Schwarzenegger says: “You will always regret the waiting. But you will never regret the day you decided to try.” Besides the fact that many people postpone their ideas and first steps until tomorrow, the second common excuse is often: “It’s probably too late anyway.” I met a lovely couple on the last cruise. After one of my talks, she said to me: “We’re too old for that now, but what you said was still wonderful.” Well… with medical research moving forward the way it is, we’ll probably all live a few extra years compared to the generations before us. So when is someone really too old to start something new or take a step in a different direction? The best way to find out whether something is for you… is to do it. Because we all learn through experience—not through endless thinking about it.
And if it turns out it’s not for you? Stop doing it.
But saying from the start “We’re too old” or “I’m too much this” or “not enough that” is simply sad. Even if I only had one year left to live, every second would still be worth spending in maximum joy. And if change is required for that—then let’s go. Better now than never. What if we all changed just one thing? And that is: bringing more love and appreciation into this world. That alone would create more growth and more change. Right now, it often feels like there’s only one “correct” opinion. And if yours is different, you’re quickly out of the game. My old history teacher would probably have used a different word for that than “democracy.” I’ll blame my age for not remembering what that other word was 😉
Still, let’s continue being the change we wish to see in the world. I want to share something beautiful that Esther Hicks mentioned a few days ago. Her explanation of why love and appreciation might be incredibly important for you:
“Love and appreciation are identical vibrations. Appreciation is the vibration of alignment with who you really are. Appreciation is the absence of everything that feels bad and the presence of everything that feels good. When you focus on what you want—when you tell the story of how you want your life to be—you move closer and closer to the vibration of appreciation. And when you reach it, it powerfully attracts all the things you consider good.”
So how do you recognize this vibration if you can’t see it? The simplest translation of vibration into human language is: Emotion. What you feel—good or bad—is simply the translation of the vibration you are currently in. And how can you feel better? That’s something I can’t tell you specifically for your life. I only know what makes me happy. I love writing to you every Sunday. I love sharing my experiences and insights from all these years of my own personal liberation journey.
And if that makes you happy too—and you want more of it—then become part of our German online community, where I host a live talk every Monday evening. Feel free to have a look and see whether it resonates with you. And if you now think: “I’ll check it out tomorrow…” Then remember the “Free beer tomorrow” sign. Now would be a pretty good time too 😉
