"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."Procrastination can be one of our worst enemies. And if we have wasted time or not fully prepared for something it can cause us to lose hope or become discouraged.
Chinese Proverb
Instead of admitting defeat, the best option is to move forward. Yes, I should have planted a tree in this spot 20 years ago, but I didn't. But if I plant one now, in 20 years I will be glad I did. If I still do not, then in 20 years I will still be regretting it.
The same thing applies to many things - saving money, paying off debt, learning a skill, accomplishing a task, forgiving someone, apologizing for a wrong, getting more education, etc.
Do not allow your previous failures to discourage or defeat you. Move forward and take action today so you will have fewer regrets in the future.
