Episode 2990: Kumiko from The Budget Mom reveals how waiting for the “right time” to pursue what we truly want can quietly drain our happiness and control. By confronting procrastination and embracing the present, she challenges us to find fulfillment not in a distant future, but in the moment we have right now. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.thebudgetmom.com/the-true-cost-of-waiting-for-what-you-really-want/ Quotes to ponder: "The present moment is the only moment available to us, and it is the door to all moments." "While you are waiting for satisfaction to find you, you ultimately end up putting your happiness off into an unknown future." "Only you can write it. You have to grasp the true presence, even if it's not what you want."
