At any given time, they say, the brain has about 14 billion neurons firing at the speed of 450 miles per hour. We don’t have any control over most of them. This is when we get a chill, when we get goose bumps, when we get excited; the body naturally follows its impulses, which I think is part of what makes it so hard for us to control ours
Of course, we do many things out of impulse, which we later wish we didn't and there are many impulses we control, which we later wish we hadn’t.
But we cant change what we do or dont, time waits for no man, listnes to no prayers,time heals all wounds, and all anyone of us can want is more time. Time to stand up, time to speak out, time to grow up, time to let go. And it was time, for me to let down my hair, to act on that impulse, and have great fun, with great friends, and it comes only with acting in that moment of time.
And I don’t know why we put things off, why sweep today’s possibilities under the rugs of tomorrow.The joy of grabing the moment and time(of which we have very little these days) sure is something and,we can’t pretend we haven’t been told, we have all heard the proverbs, we have heard the philosophers the damn poet talking about seizing the day. Still sometimes I think we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes, learn our own lessons.
And,if I had to take a guess on our ability to procrastinate I’d say it is out of fear, fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of making a decision because what if you’re wrong? And, who the hell isn’t scared. All our lives we have been taught to deal with failure, but no one ever taught us to deal with fear. It was almost like one of those bad secrets that we would have to discover ourselves, and I don’t know how many of us have managed to deal with that fear and how many of us believe that,
Knowing is better that wondering, waking is better than sleeping,shouting is better than shutting up, and even the biggest failure and worst fear will always beat the hell out of never trying.

Time is an illusion...cause the moment we come in the present moment...the past and future cease to exist...
Nice one....

“I could never tell where inspiration begins and impulse leaves off. I suppose the answer is in the outcome. If your hunch proves a good one, you were inspired; if it proves bad, you are guilty of yielding to thoughtless impulse.”-Beryl Markham
Thoughtless and impulse don't go together na? :)
totally... acted on impulse, not inspired, but yea had a good friend who played that thoughtful part and yet agreed to be the fun partner in crime!!
:D
don't know if all procrastination happens out of fear, well there is one reason why i procrastinate...laziness!!
Ahh laziness.... i am well aware of that concept..
but what I meant was, that maybe we delay on acting on our impluses out of fear...
i concur, except "waking is better than sleeping"......never....neverrrrr
