START NOW, IT IS NOT LATE.

 STARTING NOW IS NOT LATENESS


Until a phenomenon, an action, a habit, a sequence, an inaction, an idea, a day, a week, a month, a year, a season is ended, another cannot begin. The end of something always mark the beginning of another, and sometimes until something begins the other will not end. Until you end procrastination, action cannot begin; until you end inactivity, activity cannot start.


Starting afresh is an opportunity presented to every human with the dawning of each day. Not starting yesterday does not mean starting today is late. In fact, there is no lateness in starting at anytime, the most important thing is to start.


New beginnings always come with the opportunity to start as a better person. It is not unacceptable to go into a state temporary resignation, but it is unacceptable to stay in that state permanently or for too long. You can rest but not resign; you can be quiet but not quit; you can fall but not fail.


As we continue towards the end of the year, and in this eighth month, we should remember what the figure 8 stands for; 8 signifies 'new beginning', it also depicts infinity (♾️): Endlessness of opportunities, limitlessness, continuity.


The world we now live in has thought us a lot about starting afresh, it has made us to understand that even at the end there is enough opportunity to start again, ask the Chelsea team of 2012. Even as the end draws near we can start something now that will bring us to where we want to be and give us what we want to have.


You started and quit, start again; you never started, start now; you are thinking of start later, start today; like a popular saying goes, "the best time to start was yesterday, the next best time is now". It is better to start late than to never start at all. Starting late is not lateness, it is only the latest, and the latest is the freshest, the newest, and the finest.


Tomorrow is gone with the ills and glitches it brought; today is yours to take charge, the canvas is clean and plain, start now to paint the tomorrow you so strongly desire. Start afresh, start anew and create the ending of your dreams.
