Hello friends!!

What does the phrase “Why Wait?” mean to you in your daily life? Share your thoughts with examples

In my opinion why wait simply means you don't have to postpone something or procrastinate when you can action do it immediately.

Why wait is like a call or reason you should not get involved in the action of drawing back when the right time to make the move is just in front of you.

For example I need water in my house, I mean drinking water and probably mine is finished and I noticed that the weather is changing as though it wants to rain.

I don't when when the rain will stop falling it starts and lets say am still in the house doing something else, common sense should tell me to leave that things am doing and rush to the nearest store at the neighborhood to get the bag of water needed. The question comes in now "why wait" for the rain to stop before I go and buy the water when I can action go now, save my self from entering the rain later on to go get it or even stay of taste for a long time until the rain stops.

Have you ever delayed something important and later regretted it? What did you learn from that experience?

Of course I have delayed something important several times and regretted it until I made the decision never to do that again.

Let me share a short story with you. Few months back, I was on a a project where I played the role of an admin, I was to keep my reminders clean and check. I mean I was to send a reminder for every of the task before the week begins.

That particular day I was so busy yesterday but each time it crossed my mind to send the reminder I would tell my self to hold on. I finally forgot to send it and the day ended. My phone went off in that process.

Every one on the job was left without direction, no means to even reach me, it was a disaster.
That day I leant something very important that anytime a thought cross my mind to get something done, I should paulse whatever am doing and get it done immediately.
Second thing I leant is always to write down every task I need to execute for the day on my reminder book and always revisit it every two hours to be sure it's done.

Describe a moment when taking immediate action made a positive difference in your life or someone else’s.

I was in the house and my phone rang, it was a very good friend of mine. She just told me she needed to huge amount of money that I should send it to a particular account, she will send it back to me. She didn't even say when or why she needed the money, she didn't even sound urgent.

She has never asked me for money before, I didn't ask any questions, I didn't delay at all, I just went on to transfer the money to her and I received a message on Whatsapp saying thanks

Later that evening she requested my account number and sent the money back to me. That was when she explained the situation that took place in the morning. She told me the emergency that happened and how my help saved the day. If I didn't send that money that time so many things would have gone wrong.

I was so happy that I saved the day and that I made a friend smile that day. It benefitted both of us.

If you had no fear or doubt, what is one thing you would stop waiting for and start doing today—and why

This is a deep question but I find away to get it answered. If I had no fear or doubt, One thing I would stop waiting for the government of my country getting better to help us get better at our current living

I would start doing making conscious effort to get my life to work, my finances and everything around me rather than wait for the government to better my life.

If I need to attend lecture or conferences,I would. If I need to read books, I would. If I need to learn a new skill I should. No more waiting for external help. I am the help I need. Focus on myself and make my life better.
