“Fill your days with love. If someone needs your kindness, give it immediately, now. Tomorrow may be too late. If your heart craves words of approval, gratitude, or support, say them today.” These words, spoken by Saint Alexandra Romanov, resonated deeply with me when I read them recently. The simple yet powerful reminder struck a chord about the fleeting nature of time and the need to act with love in the present moment.

Too often, we get caught up in the trivialities of daily life—the endless scroll through social media, the mundane errands, the seemingly unending cycle of tasks that must be done. These things are necessary, of course, but they can easily crowd out what truly matters. How many times have we delayed a visit to an elderly relative, or postponed reconnecting with an old friend? How often do we feel the pull to volunteer or help someone in need, only to justify our inaction with the excuse of "I'm too busy"? We all feel it—the urgency of time slipping away, but we hesitate to act, and often find ourselves thinking we’ll do it "tomorrow." But as Saint Alexandra reminds us, tomorrow may be too late.

It's easy to get distracted by the noise of life, but if we truly reflect, we might realize just how much time we spend on things that ultimately don't matter. There’s an unsettling truth: we often leave behind the things that could bring us meaning, whether it’s reaching out to those we love or stepping out of our comfort zone to help others. And when we don’t act, it’s the guilt that follows that shows us what could have been done differently. We could have made a phone call, shared a kind word, or made the effort to show up for someone. In those moments, we understand that much depends on us, that we have the power to make a difference if only we choose to act.

Sadly, we live in an age where indifference seems to prevail. I remember a time when, if someone collapsed on the street, several people would rush to help, calling an ambulance, offering assistance. Today, however, many would walk by, thinking, “They probably brought it on themselves.” It’s a sad reflection of how disconnected we have become from the needs of others. We rush through our days, focused on our tasks and goals, but how often do we pause to offer a comforting word or lend a hand?

What we sometimes fail to recognize is how deeply our words and actions impact others. In the past, Empress Alexandra Romanov would write her beloved husband tender, heartfelt letters every day while they were apart. She knew the value of making each moment count, of expressing love and support before time could steal the chance. They didn’t wait for "later." They knew that love doesn’t wait for the perfect moment—it seizes the present.

Imagine how much more meaningful our relationships and lives could be if we lived with the same urgency as Alexandra did, if we didn’t put off the acts of love, kindness, and care for another day. Tomorrow may be too late to say what we’ve been meaning to say, to give what we’ve been holding back, or to be present for someone in their time of need.

So, let’s take a moment to reflect on how we spend our time. Let’s not let the days pass without filling them with the love, support, and connection that are within our power to give. If someone needs a kind word, offer it now. If you feel the urge to reconnect with a loved one, don’t wait—do it today. We may never get the chance again, and we can never be sure when "tomorrow" will be too late. Let us live with urgency, with love, and with the understanding that the present moment is all we have to make a difference.
