As daar een voorneme is wat \u2019n mens se lewe sou kon verander, en sweerlik ook die w\u00eareld in mindere of meerdere mate, is dit di\u00e9 een. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ek was nie wys genoeg om self daaraan te dink nie. Dikwels gaan dit buitendien nie daaroor om die idee te kry nie; dit hang liewer daarvan af om dit presies reg te verwoord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dis \u2019n kollega wat dit n\u00e9t mooi gestel het terwyl nuwejaars\u00advoornemens eenkeer uitgeruil is: om nie na te laat nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ek sal nie verbaas wees as jy hierdie woorde gelees het, en daarna nog \u2019n keer of twee nie. Dis so bedrieglik eenvoudig dat dit onbenullig lyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waarskynlik is dit vir sommige lesers nie so \u2019n uitsonderlike idee nie. Dalk is dit \u2019n meer algemene voorneme as wat ek besef. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die moontlikhede wat dit egter inhou, is onteenseglik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doen dit wat gedoen moet word. S\u00ea dit wat jy besef ges\u00ea behoort te word. Moenie nalaat nie, maak seker dat jy daarvoor kans kry \u2013 doen dit vandag nog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van uitstel kom afstel, dra ek die waarskuwing al uit my kinderdae met my saam, aangevul deur \u2019n bondeltjie skuldgevoel wat tree n\u00e1 tree \u2019n bietjie swaarder word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bedoel as \u2019n vermaning om nie jou verantwoordelikheid eenkant toe te skuif nie, destyds sekerlik vir wanneer dit kom by dinge soos akademiese leerwerk, noem di\u00e9 gesegde nie die ding op die naam nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die allerverskriklikste ding wat jou as gevolg van \u2019n uit- of afstellery kan tref, moet jy hier tussen die re\u00ebls raaklees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat gebeur is: Jy verloor sekere dinge. Jy raak dinge kwyt. Nog erger, ander mense is eindelik dinge kwyt wat hulle toekom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laat jy na om vir iemand dankie te s\u00ea vir iets wat hulle vir jou gedoen het, is hulle die besef kwyt dat hulle iets vir ander beteken \u2013 en jy is die kans kwyt om hulle te laat weet dat jy hulle waardeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Word jy van \u2019n geleentheid bewus, maar laat na om dit aan te gryp, verspeel jy \u2019n kans op die heel suiwerste van maniere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let jy op dat dit met iemand moeilik gaan, maar jy laat na om na hulle uit te reik, is jy die kans kwyt om die w\u00eareld hier by jou, die hier en die nou, vir iemand \u2019n klein bietjie beter te maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laat jy \u2019n verhouding met iemand besonders kwyn omdat jy keer op keer nalaat om die klein goedjies te doen wat werklik saak maak, kan jy verbitterlik maklik selfs daardie mens kwytraak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was met die aanbreek van die feestyd op almal se lippe: Kan jy glo dis al di\u00e9 tyd van die jaar; die dae gaan verskriklik vinnig verby; ek kom sowaar by niks uit nie, maar wag . . .wag net dat die Kersvakansie kom, dan gaan ek (\u00e9n die tyd) stadiger beweeg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dis ook maar relatief, onthou. Elke oomblik van enige jaar beweeg ewe digby jou lyf verby. Jy k\u00e1n \u2019n hand daarop kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mag ons almal in hierdie tyd, maar juis daarna ook, geleentheid daarvoor kry \u00e9n die gewoonte aankweek om nie na te laat nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Geniet die asemskep!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
