I can't stress this enough. If you're waiting for the "perfect moment," you're going to be waiting around for-fucking-ever.

Hollywood has drilled it into our brains that "you'll just happen upon your true love one day, fall madly in love, and live happily ever after, no effort involved! So just sit around, and wait for them to show up on your door while you masturbate to porn!"

Ever heard the phrase "Life is what happens while you're making plans"? Well, that should speak for itself. Stop waiting, stop planning, stop making excuses as to why you can't. The only time the chance of failure is 100% is when you don't try.

there is no such a thing as future, it does not exist at all, "later" is simply a pure construct of a primitive (evulotionarywise) brain that is overwhelmed with all the tasks and technology we have now, there is ony now,only me typing an n then o then w

I was thinking about going to bed. I'LL DO IT NOW

ohsnapitsrags · 2012-04-20T03:02:00+00:00

This is great advice! I'm going to sit on reddit for a little longer though.

For some reason I read that in Arnold's voice

vanillaafro · 2012-04-20T04:11:45+00:00

does anyone else see the irony of this being posted on reddit?

oliver_tate · 2012-04-20T06:46:59+00:00

I followed your advice and she's coming over tonight. Thanks!

2012-04-19T19:59:59+00:00

I'm not sure where I saw it but its stuck with me:

"The time is always now"

And now glee is coming on so its time to change the channel....

thebitchrake · 2012-04-20T02:41:03+00:00

This is the kind of written kick in the ass I need right now, while I'm wasting time on Reddit and a stupid video game instead of looking for more modelling work before my job starts full time.

I actually have this phrase printed out in huge font and taped next to my PC at work. Have since last July.

No Boo Sheet.

75PartlyCloudy · 2012-04-20T02:29:49+00:00

Did anyone read "DO IT NOW" in Schwarzeneggers voice?

GreatName · 2012-04-20T02:39:19+00:00

The best day to plant a tree is today.

nycprowl · 2012-04-20T04:42:58+00:00

I was in line for the bathroom today at a bar and a cute girl was also... I got way too into my head, and was about to say something, then chickened out, and faked a yawn instead. Then I decided "fuck that shit", remembered this post and my own advice I gave, and opened THE FUCK OUT OF HER.

KiwiBuckle · 2012-04-20T14:17:07+00:00

This is why I find Seduction more motivating than getmotivated. GetMotivated in my opinion is great but mostly a circlejerk of happy inspirational pictures and stories.

I love the fact this was just text - no link karma - no courage wolf - no frills on the side. Just the fact that we should live in the moment.

actinium · 2012-04-20T02:23:03+00:00

okay

rmbarnes · 2012-04-19T20:41:50+00:00

I agree to a certain extent, but we can't do everything at once. People generally have more ideas than time, so inevitably some things have to wait.

ThatZBear · 2012-04-20T01:34:20+00:00

Arnold?

Zero36 · 2012-04-20T02:02:37+00:00

Like my mom said,"Towmorrow is forever"

AstroPhysician · 2012-04-20T04:50:03+00:00

Needed this. Thanks

Haha, I just read Henry James' "The Beast in the Jungle" which pertains exactly to this waiting mentality. The irony is that there is a girl I like in the class I read it for, and I never did get the courage to ask her out midst all the discussion of inevitability and procrastination.

CrackerJackHill · 2012-04-20T09:16:52+00:00

You're right!

calaber24p · 2012-04-20T13:20:14+00:00

In the great words of Dr.Seuss I fear, toward a most useless place. The Waiting Place...

...for people just waiting. Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come, or a plane to go or the mail to come, or the rain to go or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow or waiting around for a Yes or a No or waiting for their hair to grow. Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite or waiting around for Friday night or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil, or a Better Break or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants or a wig with curls, or Another Chance. Everyone is just waiting.

NO! That's not for you!

Somehow you'll escape all that waiting and staying. You'll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing.

Want to kill yourself but are hoping things will get better? DO IT NOW!

Stop shaving the yak!

This title is much more effective if you read it as Arnold Schwarzenegger.

crappyboy · 2012-04-20T03:26:06+00:00

I've been saving this pimple on my chin all day.

It's go time.

notlurkinganymoar · 2012-04-20T00:52:45+00:00

Lol, but no, honestly, speaking as someone who's decided that his physical appearance is too much of a deterant for any of this stuff to work, this kind of sounds airy-fairy. Why suffer up Everest today, when it could be a mole hill tomorrow?

cma6250 · 2012-04-20T03:48:51+00:00

Dang, just simultaneously shit and pissed my pants.

DuJuanAndOnly · 2012-04-20T01:43:20+00:00

List of things I have to do!

Clean car. Buy corsage for prom date. Buy some weed for a friend. Apply for a jerb. Work on truck. Sleep! Homework. Trim mah hair. Get my guitar back from a friend. Practice guitar (In Your Atmosphere - J Mayer)
