We’re told to “wait for the right time” — for love, for risk, for change. But what if the perfect moment... never comes?In this bold and liberating TEDx talk, Esha Kirmani challenges the ancient ideal of Kairos — the mythic “right moment” to act. Drawing from philosophy, psychology, and lived experience, they unpack how waiting for ideal conditions often masks fear, fuels regret, and holds us back from growth.This talk is not just a rejection of timing myths — it's a call to reclaim agency, to act with intention now, not someday. Because clarity doesn't come from waiting — it comes from doing.If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Esha Kirmani is a Pakistani author, emotional health coach, and founder of *Jazb*, a youth-focused platform providing accessible mental health support to thousands across Pakistan. At just 18, she began her journey to bridge the emotional intelligence gap in underserved communities, combining her passion for healing with storytelling and entrepreneurship. Now a BBA student at NUST, Esha is also the author of *Ghaar*, a novel rooted in themes of trauma, growth, and self-reclamation. Through her writing, coaching, and social media presence, she continues to empower young people to navigate their inner worlds with courage and compassion. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
