Don't Wait

A friend sent me this the other day and I thought it was worth passing on. I do not know who wrote it.

Bareley the day started and...it's already six in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday and it's already Friday.
...and the month is already over.
...and the year is almost over.
...and already 40, 50 or 60+ years of our lives have passed.
...and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.
...and we realize it's too late to go back...
So...Let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time...
Let's keep looking for activities that we like...
Lets put some color in our grey...
Let's smile at the little things in our lives hat put balm in our hearts.
And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left. Let's try to eliminate the afters...
I'm doing it after...
I'll say after...
I'll think about it after...
We leave everything for later like "after" is ours.
Because what we don't understand is that:
Afterwards, the coffee gets cold...
Afterwards, priorities change...
Afterwards, the charm is broken...
Afterwards, health passes...
Afterwards, the kids grow up...
Afterwards, parents get old...
Afterwards, promises are forgotten...
Afterwards, the day becomes the night...
Afterwards, life ends...
And then its often too late...
So... Let's leave nothing for later...
Because still waiting to see you later, we can lose the best moments, the best experiences, best friends, the best family...
The day is today... The moment is now...
We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone what needs to be done right away.
So let's see if you have time to read this message and then share it.
Or maybe you'll leave it for..." later "...
And you'll never share it.

    @Mman i needed this today! You’re the second person to say this to me literally since 9pm tonight.
    So i should book the flight and take that trip.
    Thank you!

  • This actually inspired me to make a couple of phone calls tonight. And schedule two others (due to time zone constraints). Thank you @Mman
