Nature doesn’t wait.
The rivers carve through rock.
Roots split concrete.
Trees bend sideways out of mountains.
And here you are, waiting.
Don’t wait for fear to vanish.
Don’t wait for love to save you.
Don’t wait for someone to tell you it’s okay.
Don’t wait for a pat on the back.
Don’t wait to like yourself.
Don’t wait to start.
Don’t wait to feel ready.
Don’t wait for the stars to line up.
Don’t wait to figure it all out.
Don’t wait to move.
Don’t wait for some kind of sign.
Don’t wait for someone to lead the way.
Don’t wait until it all makes sense.
Don’t wait for your pride to step aside.
Don’t wait for everyone to nod along.
Don’t wait for tomorrow—it’s already too late.
Don’t wait for the past to apologize.
Don’t wait to be perfect.
Don’t wait for lightning to strike.
There’s only one thing worth waiting for.
Wait for God’s whisper.
The rest? Do it now.
Or don’t. But don’t pretend time is waiting for you.
