What Is One Thing You Regret Not Starting Earlier? If you could go back five years, what is one thing you would tell your younger self to start immediately? For some people, it would be saving money. For others, it might be learning a skill, taking education seriously, exercising, or spending more time with family. The truth is that many of us know what we should do, but we keep postponing it. We wait for the perfect time, the perfect opportunity, or the perfect amount of money. Unfortunately, perfection rarely comes. Most successful people didn't start when everything was perfect. They started with what they had and improved along the way. The small action you take today may look insignificant, but years from now it could completely change your life. Imagine planting a tree today. It may not provide shade immediately, but if you wait another five years to plant it, you'll also wait another five years to enjoy the benefits. The good news is that it's never too late to begin. The best time to start may have been years ago, but the second-best time is now. Question: What is one thing you wish you had started earlier in life?
