This morning I looked at a bench in my front yard that needs repair.
A few summers ago it had a tiny, very tiny hole in the seat covering. I remember looking at it and thinking I “should” get some patching stuff and fix that up. Well, I didn’t.
This morning it grabbed my attention because it looked so horrible. It’s almost completely torn apart, with the ugly, dirty sponge material sticking out from its once safe and dry place. No longer safe and dry, this seat covering is now garbage.
What would have cost us a few pennies to repair is now a hundred dollar purchase!
As I walked past it, a life lesson jumped up and out!
Do it TODAY!
Whatever is being put off, the pile of filing, the health issue, the slightly damaged relationship, the under-performing employee, the signs of a bad habit in your child, etc, etc…WHATEVER matters to you, attend to it today! If it’s a matter that is important to you - it WILL get worse if the work isn’t done to repair, make amends, guide behavior, give feedback, etc.
Things and relationships do not fix themselves.
Yes, time heals and time sometimes has a positive impact on an issue – if there’s anger and the need to cool off for instance; it surely will be better to put off handling a matter.
Why create a situation where forgiveness will be required? Just wait for cooler heads to prevail.
But that is NOT what I’m talking about here. Damaged items, bad behaviors and strained relationships can not get better without our intervention. And sometimes, like in the case of my poor bench seat, the time, energy and money needed to remedy a situation is minuscule compared to what you end up having to put out.
So do what needs to be done today. Tomorrow you will be thrilled with yourself.
Actually, today will be pretty nice too!
Enjoy ♥~
