What Are You Waiting For?

A young woman dreamed of becoming a professional artist. 

She had a natural talent.

Whenever she picked up a brush, magic seemed to flow onto the canvas.

But life got in the way.

A job, responsibilities, and distractions.

They always seemed more urgent.

Every evening, she’d say to herself, “I’ll have more time to paint tomorrow”.

This became weeks, then months, and soon… years had passed.

While clearing out her attic, she found an old canvas.

A wave of regret overwhelmed her as she looked at the half-finished painting. 

She realized tomorrow quietly slipped into yesterday’s.

Determined not to waste another moment, she picked up her brush that day.

She committed to painting for an hour every evening.

It wasn’t easy, but her passion reignited, and she created a gallery of work.

This brought joy to many admirers.

It reminds me how easily time slips away when we let “someday” fool us.

You don’t have infinite tomorrows, but you have today.

How are you spending your time?

Is there a dream or goal you’ve been putting off?

Perhaps today is the perfect time to start.

Even if it’s just a single step forward.
