How many whispers will it take?

How many gentle nudges, quiet reminders, or inconvenient thoughts will you need… before you finally do the thing?

We all have one.

Maybe several.

Get fitter. Be braver. Start the business. End the relationship. Book the damn trip. Fix the finances. Write the book. Say what’s in your heart.

They show up regularly, for me at least. And you?

A passing thought in the shower.

A pang of envy when someone else does it.

A restless moment late at night.

At first, the whispers are kind. Soft. Almost smiling.

Then they go quiet… but only for a while.

They always come back. Louder. More persistent. Sometimes with a vengeance.

Until one day they don’t whisper. They shout.

Through a breakdown.

A diagnosis.

A wake-up call that arrives too late.

We ignore them because we’re busy.

Because we’re scared.

Because later feels safer than now.

But here’s the truth:

There comes a point when it’s too late for later.

Too late to call.

Too late to try.

Too late to become who you were always meant to be.

So… what’s the one thing you keep postponing?

Not ten. Just one.

What’s one small step you could take today to breathe life into it?

Not for applause.

Not for anyone else.

Just for you.

Because the whisper?

It’s not just a message.

It’s a doorway.

An invitation.

And you don’t need to wait for it to shout.
