Waiting is not a verb!

Hi all,
Why are we not doing things that we always wanted to do? Usually because we are waiting for something. Most of us wait for finishing a particular course, paying off that loan, waiting till children grow up, for the financial situation to improve, summer to be over, wait till we get transferred, waiting for someone to ask, waiting for the perfect time to ask, waiting for the beginning of year, end of the year, ........................
Is this living or waiting to live?
The best time to do what we want to do is...................... NOW!
Please wait for my next post!:)

What should I do now?

Hi everybody,
This is where I'm going to share my random thoughts on life and living.
Met a guy (who works in the middle-east) in a train couple of days ago. He offered me a bottle of beer and I declined! He looked very happy and completely carefree! I started talking to him and during the course of the conversation he said with tears in his eyes that his elder son died of blood cancer last year and the second son is struggling in the hospital suffering from the same ailment. I was too shocked for words! How do you console someone in this kind of a situation? I told him what I tell students in my NLP seminar. Happiness is just an emotion and you can choose it anytime you want. It is just a bio-chemical event in the body. I hope it works for him. It works for me. Any reactions?
