Will it be today?

Remember when we were kids? 

We’d say things like..

“When I get big..” 

And then we’d rattle off some goal we would accomplish once we got big? 

We said big as in stature, but mostly meant big as in older. 

Ironically enough I still come across adults who play the when/bigger game. 

“When I make it, then I’ll..”

“When I become a millionaire, then I’ll..”

“Once I pay off all my student loans, then I’ll..”

Years back I learned “The Two Minute Rule” from time management and productivity expert David Allen. 

Anything that crosses your plate that you can get done in two minutes or less, you do it in that moment. 

Eventually I developed my own “Never Forget Method”, essentially the best way I never forget to do some kind of work is when I do it the moment I agree. 

(Not always possible, but you’d be surprised how often it is.) 

We don’t have to wait to give. 

We can probably do it in two minutes or less. 

What if we gave at the exact moment we agreed we would? 

“When I get big” is not about stature. 

Neither is giving about an amount. 

So when will our hearts get bigger?

Today.
