There always seems to be a good reason to put if off. There is no deadline. In each of these cases, taking action may be postponed indefinitely. Each of these statements emanates from reasoning that is passive. The speaker is waiting for something else to happen.
Action is required only after that something else has occurred.
Time does not stand still and neither does your life. A passive stance in an active world only results in someone or something else dictating the course of your life. The notion that life should be lived passively is something that we learn as children. Anyone who has children, or works with them, will tell you that children are naturally action oriented. If you do not change his diaper immediately, feed him when he is hungry, or dress him suitably for the weather, he begins to cry.
