Eric Dodge asks Why Not Today?

Today I share a very short thought. And it’s not even mine, really. But it sets the stage for what I want to dive into on May 11, our next post. 

Back in December I had the opportunity to meet Eric Dodge and hear him perform. He did a great job. He had a song that spoke directly to me at the time. I asked him if I could share his song with my community. He was happy I would do so, and in December I shared the song live on Facebook with a few of my thoughts.  

Recently, I was listening to the song again, and it continued to resonate with me. So I decided to share it here with you. 

You can get the actual musics in several places, but here is an easy link to save you the trouble. I would encourage you to read the lyrics here before listening to the song. 

And then I would encourage you to answer the question in the song. 

Why Not Today?

Here are the lyrics:

I’ve been waiting for just the right moment

To start living the life of my dreams.

I was hoping some magical moment

would come rescue me.

But it hit me today

there’s no better time to begin.

This day I’ve been given is my day to start living

so I’m jumping in!

Why not today?

While the sun is shining.

Today, while I know I can.

The past is behind me

Tomorrow can’t find me

till I live today.

So, why not today,

while my heart is ready.

Today, while it’s in my grasp.

If I start out slowly,

I’m confident knowing I’m still on my way.

So why not today?!

I’ve been searching in all the wrong places.

For the courage to follow my dreams.

But I finally discovered the power lies inside of me.

I could spend my life waiting for something to show me the way.

But I would be missing the wonderful blessing of embracing today.

Why not today

while the sun is shining?

Today, while I know I can!

The past is behind me.

Tomorrow can’t find me till I live today.

So why not today?

While my heart is ready.

Today, while it’s in my grasp.

If I start out slowly, I’m confident knowing I’m still on my way.

So why not today?

I’m ready.

I’m willing.

I’m able.

I’m learning to fly.

But how will I know how high I can soar,

if I never try.

Why not today while the sun is shining?

Today, while I know I can.

The past is behind me.

Tomorrow can’t find me, till I live today.

Why not today while my heart is ready.

Today while it’s in my grasp.

If I start out slowly, I’m confident knowing I’m still on my way.

Why not today?!

Why not today?!

Why not today?!

Well. Answer the question. What are you waiting for? Why not today?
