New Year resolutions apart we have so many wishes to start something. Be it morning jog, change to a healthy lifestyle, offer charity, learn a new language and build up your skill at the personal level. In a more esoteric level, develop your idea into a project plan, implementing a much dreaded but much needed revamp of systems and procedures, etc. We generally postpone, vacillate, wait for some nudge that won't come but from self. We take time for granted.
I was listening to a Jain monk whose discourse put time in its right perspective. I quote him here, 'life time already spent is like water flowing in a river. River flowing down the mountain can't flow back and climb the montain. Your breath rising up and down with air flowing in and out is working like a saw, front and back, cutting down your lifetime. Each new day has taken out one more day from you'.
So let us do it, do it now, whatever we have to do.
