Another week has gone by, and here we are again—on a Sunday, with a chance to pause, reflect, and look ahead. Today, I want to talk about something many of us are guilty of, myself included. We talk about the things we want to do. We dream, we plan, we share ideas with friends, but too often, we stop there. We stall out at "someday," never quite turning those intentions into actions.
The truth is, it’s so easy to make excuses. “I’m too busy,” “Maybe next week,” or “I just need to wait until the right time.” But guess what? The perfect time rarely comes. Life keeps moving, and with every minute that passes, we have less of it to make the most of.
Think about it. How many times have you said you wanted to volunteer and never followed through? Or talked about taking that trip that’s been sitting on your bucket list forever, only to realize another year has flown by? You can blink, and weeks turn into months, months into years. One day, you’ll look back and wish you’d done more, seized more, been more.
This week, the challenge is simple but powerful: stop waiting. Do the things you keep saying you’ll do. Do them for yourself, do them for the people around you, do them because life doesn’t pause while you think about it.
If you want to volunteer and make a difference, stop talking about it and find time. It doesn’t have to be grand or perfect—what matters is showing up and starting. If you want to call that friend or family member you've been meaning to reach out to, stop waiting for the perfect moment. Pick up the phone, and take the first step toward reconnecting. Or, if you've been putting off writing that thank you card, sit down and jot a few words of gratitude. Whatever it is you’ve been putting off, do the smallest thing today to nudge it forward.
Take action. Not tomorrow, not next week—now. Because the truth is, every little moment counts, and none of us gets time back. If you wait too long, all you’ll have left are "could have" and "should have."
This week, don’t just talk about the life you want to live—live it. Follow through. Make the call. Take the first step. Time moves fast, but you still have the power to steer it toward something meaningful.
You’ll thank yourself later.
💛Christiana
