Don’t put it off till later . . .

April 7, 2022

It’s going by fast. Don’t wait.

Hey [FIRST NAME GOES HERE],

I’m having one of those weeks preparing for 3 classes I’m training next week. So I’m not diving into writing a blog. But I’m going to share a poem that I got from a friend the other day:

Barely the day started and it’s already six in the evening.

Barely Monday arrived 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 people we loved, 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.

Let’s put some color in our grey.

Let’s smile at the little things in life that 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 it 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 is 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 become the night.

Afterwards, life ends.

And then it’s too late.

So . . . let’s leave nothing for later.

Because still waiting to see 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.

It looks like an eternity, but it’s a short trip.

Enjoy life and always be kind.

On the podcast . . .

I interviewed Tom Fay this week. His message is powerful. After 22 rounds of treatment over a 10 year period he turned a corner and embarked on long term sobriety. And he hasn’t slowed down in helping others too.

We all have fears that can prevent us from getting just far enough to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Don’t give up. Keep trying. If you fall down 13 times then get up 14. That could be what catapults you into the next level of self-actualization.

If you need courage, you can borrow some from Tom or I. If you need help you just need to ask. You don’t have to be alone in the pursuit of your dreams or finding your way out of the dark.

All my best,

Maureen
