I have heard people tell me throughout my life that when my time comes to go  (or when my number is up) there is nothing that I can do to change that fact so to them I simply say that if you wait until you are called you may miss out on a lot of options that you could have had the benefit of. While nobody wants to rush in the final days, especially  when they are somewhat unprepared for what is certain to come there way anyway, we should not allow the grass to grow under our feet as we wait.
