Just do it

Gatsby's problems, Daisy's problems, and Tom's problem's are all because they can't just do it.

Gatsby: Love is so very persistent. After four years, Gatsby is still chasing Daisy. Yet, all he could do was wait for her from his mansion and hope that she might've wandered in. Lucky for him that Nick could arrange a "coincidental" meeting between them. What would've happened if Nick never came? He should've tried harder when he was in love with her before.

Daisy: From the very beginning she had second thoughts about marrying Tom. She wanted to return the pearl necklace back to Tom. Yet, she couldn't and now she's being cheated on and getting into  arguments, and in general unhappy. If she could've go her act together all those years ago maybe she could've fallen in love with Gatsby sooner.

Tom: This confused man just can't seem to do anything. He doesn't exactly seem to love Daisy, yet he lies to Myrtle so he doesn't have to divorce Daisy. Even so, he lusts for Myrtle and complies with her wishes. ut maybe he doesn't truly love her either. He broke her nose. In any case, this man has a whole load of problems that he needs to get sorted out.

Strife, hardship, and frustration come to those that wait too long. Patience may be a virtue, but when you see your goal you have to reach for it. Not let it come to you. Learn to act on your wishes and make them come true. Look to Nike. Just do it.
