I Spent Years Saying “Later” — Here’s What It Cost Me

There’s a word many of us use without thinking.
A word that feels harmless. Practical. Responsible.

Later.

We say it when life feels busy.
When timing doesn’t feel right.
When we assume there will always be more time.

But the truth is: later doesn’t just delay moments.
It slowly changes relationships. It retrains people. It rewires your life.

In this video, an 82-year-old man explains what really happens when “later” becomes your default answer — to a friend, to your spouse, to your children, to your own life.

Not all at once.
Not in dramatic scenes.
But in thousands of small choices that seem reasonable… until the results are permanent.

If you’ve been postponing a call, a visit, a conversation, or a moment you keep telling yourself you’ll “do soon”…
This message is for you.

Because one day, “later” stops being a plan.
And becomes never.

If this message reached you at the right time, share it with someone who keeps saying “later.”
And tell me in the comments: what’s one “later” you’re turning into “now”?
I read every single one.
