Better Late than Never

This is a beautiful proverb we all often use, especially when something important is there. We often state this to say as long as you have decided to be something or taken a stand it’s good. Whether you did it on time or late that’s okay.

So why even get a statement like this and why is stated and how does one feel?

Many times we go through certain situations in which we are uncomfortable and yet not ready to do something about it. Reasons could be plenty from

• Fear
• Anxiousness
• Uncertainties
• The unknown fear
• Issues with letting go
• Lacking confidence
• Low self-respect
• Social conditioning

These above-stated facts lead us to naturally lean towards procrastination. Taking decisions needs a lot of courage and insights which would give us much-needed clarity to choose what exactly is needed for us.

As factors play up we get caught in the drama or story and find it difficult to let go or even gain strength to do what we feel is right.

The next question would be

So is this wrong?

Nothing is right or wrong the perception of these are within us. It’s easy for someone to state something but for the one going through it. Only once we reach a threshold of okay enough now can’t take it anymore that’s when the first step towards the rightful acts or decisions are taken.

There is no need to feel guilty or regret that something was not done earlier or get carried away with statements like
” I told you so”.
They are not something to hold onto to even try to rationalize or analyze the stated facts.

No matter how much someone pushes or the umpteen nudges one gets only when it’s meant to be will the right decisions be taken and one will move forward with it. Now that I have said this doesn’t give leeway for excuses or holding the gun in one’s hand on this and doing things the easy way or not doing something.

Of course, only when the time is right will you do things but before that, you can at least understand and know where you are standing and how to move ahead. Sitting and cribbing not acting on something is not the way nor will it give you any results. If you want something you need to act not react.

Now having said that how can we do something knowing it is right and have no regrets later. Well, before taking a decision it’s good to weigh the pros and cons check where you stand and what are your thoughts on how things are unfolding. Life can get tricky at times and what we are perceiving and what reality is could be two different things altogether.

So when you feel okay now enough I can’t take it anymore I need to decide then what needs to be done and how am I moving ahead. That’s when the statement holds good when stated as better late than never. No one wishes to suffer or go through pain These come as important lessons the pain and suffering that we see as an issue or a curse, in reality, bring excellent lessons to us.

The quicker we understand this and work towards accepting and releasing than we don’t have to worry about what to do next. But just go with the flow of accepting the lessons that are coming to us. We gain a lot of experiences and the more we are open to understand and appreciate the turn of events the better is the learning.

Simple tips to help oneself-

1. Define your boundaries and also respect the other person’s boundaries.
2. Regularly de-clutter your space and throw out things that hold no great need or importance to you.
3. Regularly check on your pros and cons seeing where you stand and if it is comfortable for you.
4. Keep a check on your limitations and thresholds.
5. It’s always good to journal and makes a note of everything this would help release things of no importance easily.
6. Take time out for self to nurture and pamper self and taking care of any loose ends that need to be attended to.
7. In case you have come to end in a relationship please remember to have closure too. It’s much needed and one needs to have it to help move on.
8. Mediate and have a good exercise routine to hell you de-stress and work on any suppressed or underlying issues.
9. At times it’s okay to say no or you are put into a tight spot or awkward situation.
10. Take time to reset and redefine your boundaries and keep them firm at all times.

Taking time to make a decision is okay, but doing nothing about it and just enduring the pain without learning is not something acceptable.

Life’s journeys are meant to be experienced and witnessed not endured and struggled with nagging and cribbing.
