Don't Wait

A former colleague passed on earlier this year. It hit me hard and hurts so bad .

I have indeed heard of several individuals who have passed away this year. I know we will all leave this earth at some point, but moments like this make me pause and reflect on life.  

 Life unfolds in stages.

We begin as those who are cared for, then step into independence. We long to belong beyond our immediate family, build careers, chase dreams, and celebrate milestones. We watch the younger generation make the same mistakes we once did. We feel our bodies respond to age and time. And one day, we step into the final stage—the one none of us can outrun.  

Losing someone reminds us how fleeting life is and raises questions:  

• What would we tell our younger selves if we had the chance?  

• What do we wish we could say to those who have already crossed to the other side?  

• Are there words of love, gratitude, or forgiveness we are holding back, waiting for the "right moment"?  

Don’t wait! 

Tell that friend, colleague, or loved one what they mean to you—today.

Let go of grudges.

End that long-standing silence. If you've hurt someone, own it, make amends, and forgive yourself.  

Pass on the wisdom you've gained. Share, mentor, and uplift others. Use your gifts not just for yourself but to make a difference.  

“Life is short, but it is also beautiful—made even more so when we live with love, kindness, and purpose”

Love Regardless.
