But everybody knows, almost doesn’t count. ~ Brandy
Brandy was right a decade ago, and she is still right today.
If they have one leg in and one leg out, it means nothing.
If they haven’t made up their mind about you, it still means nothing.
If they were thinking about you and didn’t act on the thought, it means nothing.
From today and forever, no more “almost”.
Almost there, almost happy, almost crying, almost doing, almost tripping, almost buying.
No more!
Being intentional about everything we do is important.
Being intentional in the lives of the people we love is priceless.
It brings us joy, and it should also bring them joy. That is what we need to do with the time we are given on earth to live.
When we have an “almost” attitude to a person or to life itself, it holds no value. Imagine what buying a gift someone would do to a person, it would make them happy, what if you almost bought the gift. It means nothing. It doesn’t count.
I have heard people say “It’s the thought that counts”. Fair enough.
It is the action that counts.
