Ticking clock

I was inspired to write this post by a peice I read on Lisbeth Darsh's blog. She is one of my favorites in the Crossfit community because she has quite the knack for urging others to wade through the bullsh*t so that they may live life.
Her latest post focused on the need to quit wasting time...It really resonated with me because I have come to realize that there is no PERFECT time for anything...If we stop waiting for the right things to "happen" to us we might find we have the time to actually make our dreams/goals reality. I see so many people, myself included sometimes, who are waiting for some perfect moment when they will start working towards a goal. That perfect moment is always, NOW.
Let's take an individuals health for instance. How can anyone really justify "waiting" to get healthy? As Lisbeth points out, you don't get a do over, you can't stop the clock and restart it. Why then do some folks live by the "I'll start tomorrow" rule? I know it's daunting. Changing the way you have approached life up to this point, whoever you are, won't be easy.
But here's the thing, take a look around you. See anyone who is important enough to you to light a fire under your ass? My guess is that you do. You have to start somewhere so if you are uninformed about what foods you should be putting into your body, then GET informed. If you have been meaning to get to the gym, then GET to the gym. No one can do this for you. That clock is ticking and it stops for no one, including you.
