We’ve all had this “compulsions” before, right?
And they tend to give you that huge driving force in whatever we do and experience
Do we ever get to hear that silent question in our mind playing?
That keeps playing, “is it now or never ever”?

How do you choose to respond to that “question”?
And before responding to it, how do you process the response you make?
I hope you do respond appropriately.
I’m impulsive most days. I’m trying to learn self control in small ways
????????
Is it now or never? Definitely an interesting question, I think there are definitely instances when it literally applies. Like if you are visiting a country like the Philippines, and you now you will never ever come back there once your trip is done, and you have the chance to swim with the whale sharks (on my bucket list). That truly could be a now or never situation. But I think oftentimes we fall into that trap of thinking that way when it really isn’t the case. The drive though is what propels us to succeed, conquer fears in some cases, accomplish goals. Thought-provoking question, got me thinking about it, anyway. 🙂

The now or never mindse thas never done anyone any favors. It’s rarely actually never now or never. WE just get impatient.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
This is for sure something that takes up space in my mind a lot of the time. Especially with this past year, many things that seemed dull or mundane now have this quality to them since we have been locked in our houses for almost two years. Having a “now or never” mindset can be a good thing, but sticking to that mantra all the time can also be harmful as well.
👍👍 true!
Always! That question is always running in my head, especially with the many possibilities around us.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
I had never applied this question in my life. I think there’s always a second chance for everybody.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿 maybe!
Yes, we always have this moment where we need tk take a very crucial decision that could actually change our life forever. It is always like a hit or a miss when making decisions. Sometimes it is nice to take the chance when a great opportunity arrives
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
I’m pretty much a now kind of person most of the time. Because there is only now right?
😂😂👍👍 yeah!
Great writing as always. I know a lot of us will respond much differently. But I put my trust in God and if He leads me to do it. I do it. And maybe the thought has crossed my mind about doing something, but it never happens until years later. His timing is always perfect.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
Now or never momentum can change quickly. If you feel the urge for now and it’s healthy for you and those around it, I say act while the surge is hot.
😂😂👍👍
Interesting conversation started. While I think that a mindset like this can help in certain instances, it can also hinder us in a way. But without a doubt there have been instances in my life when the now or never mindset has brought me positive change for the better.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
Sometimes there is no next time, no second chances. But we should think carefully if this is the right moment as well.
👏🏿👏🏿👍👍 true!
Good food for thought. And a good reminder that we never know what might happen, and it is good to seize the day.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
It’s always would be now, that’s how I would answer. Cant postpone because we might not get another chance.

The thing that happened around us just when the global pandemic hits us makes me think if it’s now or never and definitely living the best day every day.
