Life is too short to wait.
The phrase “Life is too short to wait” is a reminder of how precious and fleeting time really is. It encourages us not to waste our days hesitating, procrastinating, or putting off the things that truly matter.
🌿 1. Time Is a Gift, Not a Guarantee
We aren’t promised tomorrow. Waiting too long to pursue our dreams, mend relationships, or say what’s on our hearts can mean we miss the chance altogether.
🌼 2. Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back
Fear often keeps us waiting—waiting for the perfect moment, more courage, or the right conditions. But often, those “perfect” conditions never come. Stepping out in faith is how we grow.
☕ 3. Live With Purpose and Joy
Whether it’s a small moment—like sharing coffee with a friend—or a big leap—like changing careers or taking that trip—you’re meant to live fully, not just safely.
🙏 4. A Biblical Perspective
James 4:14 says, “What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” This reminds us to use our time wisely and live in a way that honors God now—not someday.
In short:
Don’t wait to say “I love you,” to chase your calling, or to enjoy the beauty of today. Life’s too short to stand still—so live it boldly, gratefully, and with your eyes on what really matters.
The last adventure I had was an ambulance ride to the hospital. I think I better pass on the adventures!
I'm seeing "Decorate your own soul", how would you do that?
Maybe with precious memories, good times, enjoying life, conversations with God and lots of scriptures hanging all over me. lol
How about you? How would you decorate your soul?
Blessings to All
Until Next Time

"Decorate your own soul" with the beauty of Christ living in me...making music and melody in my heart to God, enjoying life to the fullest by cherishing the beauty of God's creation all around me, and by displaying His love to all I meet. I loved this post and I often think about these things. Life is much too short and we need to cherish the ones we love and do the things that really matter most. And don't put off til tomorrow what we ought to do today. "Yesterday's gone and tomorrow may never come, but we have this moment today." (Remember the song by the Gaithers?) This was great. Thank you, Mary!
