"Ce n'est pas que la vie est trop courte, c'est que nous attendons si longtemps pour commencer"
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Simplified Meaning:
Many people often feel that life is too brief, but the real issue is that they delay starting the things that matter to them. For example, imagine someone who dreams of traveling the world. They might spend years waiting for the perfect moment, saving money, or hoping to find a travel partner. Before they know it, much of their life has passed, and they haven’t taken the trips they wanted. This idea suggests that instead of postponing dreams and goals, you should take action sooner. Waiting for the “right time” can lead to missed opportunities, so it's better to start as early as possible. By doing this, you make the most of the time you have and are more likely to achieve your dreams and feel fulfilled. To apply this advice, consider beginning that project or trip you’ve been thinking about now, rather than later.
