To heck with the 'I am a caterpillar waiting to become a butterfly' thinking, that might motivate  some people, and I believe we each need to find out own path.  I however have been there, waiting to live but saving it for 'best', or when I  have achieved the next goal or 'when I am slim' and I now believe that's a waste of a fantastic life that is right at my door, NOW.

Life is too short to treat it as the dress rehearsal, this really is 'it', be free and enjoy life now. 

 Live the role of the person I want to become and I am that person.

How often have we held ourselves back in the past?  I kept the clothes that made me feel extra special, for best, not allowing myself all the joy I could have enjoyed from life.  I kept my best clothes in the wardrobe in mint condition only venturing out when I socialized with others, I never wore them 'just for my own pleasure',  until they became old fashioned and I out grew them.  I stored these special clothes and when at last I reclaimed my size 14 figure, did those clothes suit me? No.   

Now I buy what suits me now and i wear it NOW.

I own a great RM Williams leather belt, and have a couple of favorite jeans I wear this with.  I wear these now, for everyday just as I would for special jeans occasions, why not feel and look great NOW.  What are we waiting for?
