I recently met a very old client of mine (like I coached him 12 years back). In the interaction we had, there came a moment when he just plainly said "Thank You". No context was set, just a plain Thank you. He heaved a sigh of relief and I was amused.
I later realised that he had been carrying these unspoken words with him for 12 years. These words were meant to be spoken 12 years back itself but he never got the chance to speak them. He went through ups and downs and every time he thought of me, he silently spoke these words.
Not that he could not have called me and said, but either the timing was not right or lets call it in plain simple words - Procrastination. Which led me to think this
How many times in my life I have words, well rehearsed at least a hundred time, but never spoken. A thank you to someone who changed our life. A sorry we rehearsed over night only to find that the moment had already passed. An expression of love, that stayed suck somewhere because it was too vulnerable.
We say to ourselves, we will do this later and the later moment never arrives. Life moves on and we still wait for the perfect moment. And remember the unsaid never disappears. We just keep carrying it to the funeral.
The person you have been meaning to reach out to โ they are still there. The words you have been meaning to say โ they are still true. The window is still open. Just barely, perhaps. But open.
What is one thing I have left unsaid to someone that, if I said it today, would make both of us a little lighter?
