Is it worth the wait?

 

Have you ever woken in the middle of the night because of a full bladder?

There is a choice to make. Do you get up and go or do you stay in bed and ignore it?

On one hand, you are so comfortable. The bed is warm and soft. The air outside the covers is cold. The floor upon which your bare feet will land is cold. You think it better to stay in bed. It just doesn’t seem worth it.

On the other hand, it’s not going away. In fact, it’s only going to get worse. If you try to continue to sleep, you will be woken repeatedly by this pressing need. Eventually, you are going to have to make the trip.

It’s a lot better to just make the trip the first time the need arises. It gets the task behind you and lets you get on with much better sleep.

Waiting just prolongs the inevitable and makes you uncomfortable until you get the job done.

What do you need to quit putting off?
