I did not write this but WOW does it speak to my heart!
Barely the day started and it is already six in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday, and it is already Friday,
and the month is already over,
and the year is almost over,
and already 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 years have passed,
and we realize that we lost our parents, friends,
and we realize it is 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’ put some color into our grey.
Let’s smile at the things in life that put balm into our hearts.
And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left.
Let’s try to eliminate the “afters” like,
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.
Afterwords, promises are forgotten.
Afterwards, the day becomes night.
Afterwards, life ends,
and then it’s often too late.
So, let’s leave nothing for later.
Because still waiting for 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 the time to read this message and then share it.
or, maybe you’ll leave it for later, and you’ll never share it.
