SCRABBLE: DO NOT put your life on hold

It has been my experience that of all the ‘onlookers’ who have stopped out of curiosity to check out CLUB #350 and were then invited to sit down and play, those who responded “next time,” they were all hit by that ‘streetcar’ that travels down the 405 and 5 freeways.

You know what I mean. When you and I really want to do something it usually gets gone sooner than later.

Many of us put things off, out of fear and uncertainty or one of our other reasons. Some time later, we often find ourselves asking ourselves the question, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”

What is your biggest stopper? What did you avoid for a long time and then were happy when you finally did it? Getting an educational degree? Changing the status of your relationship? Moving to the place you always wanted to live? Learning how to win at competitive scrabble?

Life Lesson # 8: Life never stands still.
When we put things off to some future time, life keeps moving right past us. (Ask people who put off having a family and later on struggle to get pregnant; Ask the person who was hired into a great job in their 20′s without a degree but is now 50ish and looking for work; Ask the scrabble player who hasn’t attended a club since last year about the level of the other players who have been playing weekly.)

We are only human. We can’t do everything. There isn’t enough time to taste everything. But we know when we are simply snuggled into the comfort of some cushy Lazy Boy, allowing opportunities to pass us by for our manufactured reasons. When know that when we leave our comfort zones we will be making ourselves vulnerable again to the cold and the heat, the rain and the traffic, the rudeness of others and the inefficiencies of business and government.

But that safe place, snuggled into the chair, robs the rest of society of the gifts that we all still have to contribute. And if you are honest, you know, that you feel the best of all when you are giving and doing.
