It is better to bloom in action than to wither in waiting.

"It's better to blossom in action than wither in waiting", which is a classic sentence in the classic "Tearing down the Wall in Thinking", and it's also the one I feel most deeply, especially when I read the story about an old couple planning to go to a place called Dream Waterfall in the movie "Travels around the Flying House". They have a piggy bank, and it is agreed that when the piggy bank is full, they will start. But the days never went as they planned. The car had to be repaired, the house was leaking, and the children had to go to school. They were forced to use this savings again and again, delaying the departure time again and again. Finally, one day, the old woman passed away and the old man stayed alone in this empty house.

When the real estate demolition team threatened to tear down the old house, the old man finally broke out in a crazy action; He tied thousands of balloons to his house. One morning, he shouted, and his house flew up! He drove the balloon house, over people's wide mouths, through the thunder and lightning, and flew to Dream Waterfall.

When he was in the worst health and the poorest financial situation in his life, he began to travel to his dream. When the house was empty, he realized that he could have saved money without waiting.

How many people in real life, like this old couple, always want to save enough money before going where they want to go, but "the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny". The reality is so real, there will always be such and such things happening constantly, occupying ordinary days, and the original plan will always be delayed again and again until the plan is nowhere in sight.

isn't it true to reflect on my own life? It's just worse. When I was young, I was poor, I wanted to make money and take care of my family. I always wanted to travel around the world when I had money. I first planned to travel all over the country and enjoy the scenery all the way, and then I went around the world to see if I could live up to this life. For this reason, I also specially studied and got a driving license. I always thought that one day we would travel together in a car and realize our dreams together. But the days are like running water, quietly polishing the corners of our past. The dreams that we once looked forward to are gradually precipitated into our hearts in the dull and tedious days, accompanying our children to stay a little longer, borrowing money to buy real estate, wholeheartedly honoring the elderly, etc., and we are so busy that our lives are in a mess, as if the pressures of life are all on our faces, making people breathless. Where can we have the money and energy to fulfill our dreams? Sometimes when we think about it, we comfort ourselves. When the children are older, we take them with us. When the children are older, their parents are old. Of course, it is important to take care of their parents, but we still can't put the trip on the agenda.

"Let's go on a trip", when this sentence was heated up on the Internet, we finally couldn't bear it and were ready to move. We decided not to wait for the time to be ripe, not to wait for enough money to travel, and not to wait until we are ready.

let's move and watch while walking. We finally reached an agreement that it took less than a week from the decision to buy a car to the trip, and all the infeasible reasons we originally thought were solved or ignored. We didn't make detailed plans in advance, and we didn't do too much detailed preparations, just like the popular joke on the Internet said: You take me, I take the money, and we will take a trip together. We walked all the way along the direction of Gannan, walking in the vast grassland, enjoying the flocks of cattle and sheep and the endless blue sky and white clouds on the grassland, and our mood was so beautiful. Looking at the first bend of the Yellow River, I can't help but marvel at the wonders of nature. The mountains and water in Jiuzhaigou finally let me appreciate what is the real beauty? My heart is full of sighs. I have been living in my own narrow circle for so many years. I didn't even know how beautiful the scenery outside was. When I came out, I really realized the difference between watching TV and watching beautiful pictures and being immersed in the beautiful scenery, and suddenly I felt enlightened.

My driver's license has also become a certificate because of my waiting. The passage of time has taken away not only our years, but also many things that belonged to us. It has long been a joke for my colleagues that I have a driver's license but can't drive. The more I wait these years, the less confident I am, the less I dare to do it.

rather than wait for rain, water the flowers yourself. I decided to change and take action, no matter how difficult it was. Accompanied by my husband's encouragement, I started my road of driving with trepidation: I practiced one problem after another and overcame it one by one until I was no longer in a hurry. I seized all the time I could practice, overcame my psychological fears, cheered myself up again and again, and finally I was able to drive skillfully on the road. With the growth of my driving skills day by day, my self-confidence is also enhanced, and the whole person is more energetic than before. I set an example for my children with actions: as long as I work hard, I can do what I want to do well! This is another unexpected result.

when I enjoyed the pleasure of driving fast on the highway, I suddenly understood that life is really an experience, a process, and there are some things that you will never feel the pleasure without experiencing and participating! I said to my husband with emotion: my driver's license wasted 18 years, and our dream trip was 1 years late. If we had acted 1 years ago, everything would have changed again?

how many opportunities have we lost by waiting?

wait for a good time before you confess to your beloved? Let us miss the right person!

how many dreams have we snuffed out when we are ready to start our dream journey!

instead of withering in the waiting, it is better to act first, find a way to finish it, and then find a way to do it better!
