Life Planning: You Will Regret Procrastinating on Life

I'll do it someday.

I'll do it when I have time.

I'll start when things settle down.

While thinking that,
years can pass by.

There are many such things in life.

Studying is one of them.

Changing jobs is another.

Starting a business is also one.

Traveling is the same.

Meeting the people you want to see is also the same.

People procrastinate.

Because it is easier to stay as you are right now.

You won't fail.

You won't get hurt.

There is less risk.

That is why you don't move.

However, only time passes by for certain.

Before you know it, a year has passed.

Before you know it, five years have passed.

Before you know it, ten years have passed.

You will be surprised by how fast it goes.

You realize this as you gain more life experience.

Most people,

more than what they did,

regret

what they did not do.

I wish I had taken that challenge back then.

I wish I had gone to see them back then.

I wish I had expressed my feelings back then.

Such regrets linger for a long time.

On the other hand, things you failed at become memories over time.

Sometimes they become funny stories.

Sometimes they become lessons learned.

However, things you procrastinated on leave nothing behind.

Only the possibilities fade away.

Also, life has its prime seasons.

The prime of physical strength.

The prime of your career.

The prime of meeting new people.

Everything has its time.

The prime time for taking on challenges.

It does not last forever.

That is precisely why,

the phrase "someday"

is the most dangerous of all.

That "someday" never comes.

Even if it does,
the circumstances may have changed.

Your body may no longer be able to move as it once did.

The people you want to see may no longer be there.

Life is shorter than you think.

Therefore, there is no need to wait for perfect preparation.

There is no such thing as perfect timing, either.

Feeling a little anxious is just right.

It is fine to start small.

The first step is to simply take action.

You will regret procrastinating on life.

Because while failures can be recovered from,
lost time can never be regained.

What changes your life is
not "someday."

It might just be this very day.
