You are truly wonderful, no matter what they say.
Seize the moment and seize the day.
Take in every breathe like it was your last, and live every second as if it would just past.
Think about others, smile all day long. Proceed on the rights, and learn from all the wrongs.
Don’t let others stop you, they don’t know who you are.
Let them go to know you, and you’re strong and wonderful heart.
<3 Love you Davey, you make my day brighter and brighter everytime I come on your webpage. Peace and Love. Keep speaking your words, you truly mean the world to a lot of people.

When we realize that the now is all there ever is. Nothing can happen in the past or future. It always happens in the now.

Reminds me of the comical movie Spaceballs, with Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet.
” When will then be now? ”
” SOON !”

Watch that.. it’s funny ! And the quote goes along with this clip
!
And as for what this really pertains to.. I think when will be after new years. THAT IS WHEN I clean the slate, and make a fresh start on Day #1 and change a lot of things that I wanted to get to. Thank you for new years !

So this is a lyric I wrote here about taking chances…about living in the now.
Fully Loaded Russian Roulette
_____________________________
I think it’s too soon;
I think it’s too late;
Indecision has broken loose again;
It blew through here like a hurricaine;
It crashed and burned leaving nothing to spare;
The day is charged like static on air;
Hang on baby, just hold on tight;
We’re gonna ride this high all freakin’ night;
You’re given a choice, and you’ve gotta choose;
Cause in the end you`ve got nothing to lose;
Life is full of these hair triggered moments;
An eighth of an inch can be the difference;
Between right and wrong and everything that matters;
Now bite the bullet baby, hope nothing splatters;
Nothing left but ashes and pain;
And the tears only prove;
I have everything to gain;
And have nothing to lose;
Lady luck and I need no introduction;
My creation starts with her destruction;
So climb on in for a crazy ride;
Soon you’re gonna see the other side;
Life to you is just one big game;
Well it is and its got a name;
Yeah, we play every day so place your bet;
Cause it’s Fully Loaded Russian Roullette;
A half dozen bullets and a six pack;
All I see is red, and I put it all on black;
Now then, we close our eyes and spin the wheel;
The chips are down… now drop the ball…. and taste the steel;
Hang on baby, just hold on tight;
We’re gonna ride this high all freakin’ night;
You’re given a choice, you’ve gotta choose;
Cause in the end what have you to lose;

Another life changed;
Nothing left but emptiness;
And a sidewalk stained;

Well, soon, obviously!

“Well, if not now, when?”
I feel that it is more of an either: Do what you want to do and either reap more benefits than bad or vice versa, or Just keep on living the the thought of liking the idea of which and just not act upon whatever it is you want to do.
Decisions like these are so much better to do it now, so then you aren’t left with a maddening “what if” complex about it.
I say, do whatever you can while you can. Benefit yourself, and be kind to those around you.
Merry Christmas, best wishes and haha, I always say this to everyone, make the right decisions.

now is not in the now, but forever now.
absolute living presence in given in the NOW
the only time is now.
much wealth and power is spent distracting you from your eternal state. this is the power behind the egregore mindset. keep em distracted for just another minute…hey 30 minutes….gold.
now brings later and later involves now. yet before is also now. presently now is the only truth you need for a heaven on earth.
some people are happy spending weeks on end on their couch yet other have travelled to four countries in that time.
i have been tempted by now many times, shaded in mystery only to find that my risk involved in the now paid off. Not only did i recieve some sort of reward for believing in my own ultimate reality, other hidden benefits came about due to that decision to live in the now.
later brings nothing but more madness. before brings nothing but sadness or regrets. the only amazing reality is every living breathing second before you this very moment. DO NOT get distracted by before or later. Do it all now babe and look hawt while doing it
now is the new ultimate philosophy. something that other generations have not/will not subscribe to.
they simply cannot handle the ever present changing reality taking place, many just give up and take a side street or an alley somewhere to park for awhile.,..,..
soon enough 10 years passes by and they are life wtf
the only thing beings can really give thir most talented wisdom too is the now. and trust that everything will endlessly workout and evolve.
what may appear as a negativity or an evil influence may be masked in good intentions for a later time and vice versa
the only thing you can touch is the now…you do it everytime you touch yourself or others so wildly like a studcat you are

If not now then when
It may be true in fact to figure out that the future and the past and many other dimensions at play are operating at the present moment. Like a poster said before about time and illusion.
There is the system at play that is designed at its very core nature to alter your own future for their benefit and nevertheless it is a billion souls to one energy. The only estimation of your own involvement is a few artifacts here and there that “they” permit you to have. A sorta a terms of service or contract by involvement with a currency, entitles you to obtain and hold this given role.
What the future overlords don’t say is that you have the absolute god/Buddha/bird whatever given power to change every single moment of your waking life. Considerably more of a thought is that every millisecond is preplanned for you and you are expected to follow that plan that you agreed to to the nine/teeth lol yea
The reaction to a given moment lays in the knowledge of the focused attempts to deceive you after the fact. There is usually a multitude of reactions to choose from and if none really fit, ur mind will figure out others and more and more until it just gives up or moves on to something else to keep it occupied.
A self without time, is ok i guess. But alot of power and wealth are attributed to you being in adoration of time itself. Which is a sad thought. Because why stay in one place for so long. Keep going. I don’t even think in the moment thoughtform is idolized moreso than money it is the afterthoughts and the before thoughts on time that lead you so far away from the present moment which you were at 3 hours ago lol but continue to be blinded into other realities.
The composition of fear inplant in ur very nature of self. If you don’t agree with the current situation much work is done to make you think your thoughts are not welcome or not desired, when everywhere you may be that is where you reside and you are entirely welcome there no matter where you are. So shine! Shaun delage

Everyday is a chance to live one’s life differently. When we aren’t living up to our full potential, we are literally rejecting the gifts given to us by God or the universe or whomever you believe created you. Our days in this life are numbered: I am acutely aware of that now.
I just lost my dad to cancer three weeks ago, and he was taken so quickly, it was like someone stole him from me. I am still grieving, but I am also aware of all the things that he squandered while on this earth. He took his health for granted, as we all sometimes do. He smoked his entire adult life, and everyday he tried to quit. He did manage to quit smoking in his last two years only to go to chewing tobacco, which he thought was “playing the odds.” He died because he couldn’t break free of unhealthy habits. He couldn’t use his gifts to the fullest of their abilities.
In March of this year, I began to break from the habits taught to me. I began exercising seriously for the first time in my life at 26. I also began the process of coming out and becoming the true and whole person I am meant to be. I realize now that only I can hold myself back, and I don’t want to do that anymore. I want happiness and love in my life and to give that gift, in return, to others. In order to achieve that, I need a fit and healthy body. I’ve learned how much the mind and body are interconnected and that the mind can master the body, but it is also, in turn, shaped and influenced by the body. I am so much more positive of a person than I was nine months ago and it is because my body and mind are more in synch than ever before. I want to continue that on through my life, and dedicate this mind and the strength of this body in service to others. I want to help youth, as an GLBT counselor and psychologist, to discover the strength in their own personal truths and to help them find the courage that I lacked at their age. So, to answer your question, Davey, if not now, then when? The answer is simple. Ideally, now is always the right time, but we have to wake up from the delusions of impossibility first. The only thing constant is change. It is up to us to harness that constant flow of change and redirect in a positive direction rather than simply riding down the paths to our own destruction.

If not now, tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then the day after. And so on. Every day gives us a new chance to turn the future into the now.

Exactly when it’s supposed to happen.
December 23, 2009 at 4:16 pm
You can only really change something in your life once you have accepted and owned that change on the inside of you. Noone can make anything happen for you. Its in your hand and your hands alone. So if not now then when?
December 23, 2009 at 9:19 pm
Too often in life people put things off until the “time is right.” Truth is, that time will never come as humans get in the rut of the same and familiar and before long their lives are over. I resolve to stop putting off things in life. The Carpe Diem quotation is often used but how many of us say those words and then act on them? I would venture to guess not many. I know this is not the story for resolutions and comments but here we go anyhow. I resolve to stop eating pizza while watching The Biggest Loser. I resolve to exercise my mind and body everyday and to blog more. I resolve to share my love with all who want or need it. The only time is now and I ask each of you who read this to choose “now” with me and make a true difference to yourself and our brothers and sisters! Happy Holidays!

I’ve sat here for a good twenty minutes pondering my answer to this question and, as yet, haven’t found one. For someone who lives by the ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ mantra, my inability to answer is disturbing.
My gut reaction is ‘soon’ but I can’t think of an eloquent justification.
(Perhaps I’ll think of an answer tomorrow).
