You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

Kindness postponed depends on a future that is not promised, and the postponement rarely feels like a decision. It feels like waiting for the right moment, a better time, a version of yourself with more to give. Meanwhile the window is being held open by circumstances outside anyone’s control.

Someone is on your list of people to reach out to properly one day. Move them to today, and keep the gesture small enough that its size cannot become the next excuse to delay.
