We only have enough time. Right now, in this time. There's just one thing we can never get back once it's gone in our life, and I'm not talking about money or other possessions; I'm talking about time. It's a one-of-a-kind notion, one-of-a-kind idea because, when used correctly, it contains the ingredients for success, happiness, progress, prosperity, and all the other things we desire. However, if it is ignored, it will leave us with very little. Because the truth is, every morning when you wake up, you are living minutes that you will never get back, breathing air that you will never breathe again; it is your one chance to accept this gift, and every second sees a little of it slip away.
The idea is that there is no better time than now, not next week, not after your promotion, not in 30 years when you expect to retire and enjoy - right now! We have this notion that the future will somehow be more important than the present, that if we suffer or are unhappy now, we will be able to store the best parts of life for later, but the reality is that we don't get any younger. Yes, we should work hard because success comes from effort, hard work, devotion, and tenacity, but the key is to devote your valuable time to things that make you feel like today is powerful, that right now is so incredible.
Today is the day you take the first step toward achieving your goals and becoming the person you want to be. Other than yourself, no one can or will ever prevent you from doing so. There is no limit, no ceiling, and no specific necessity; all that exists is you and what you allow yourself to achieve. You're the gatekeeper, you've got your foot on the throttle, and it's so simple to send others in the correct direction, right? to blame everything on our environment except our own decision, our decision to maintain the status quo because, believe it or not, it is that simple. You're where you are because you choose to be there, and you've accepted it as normal.
Look, if you want change, you must produce it. Make a strategy and execute it. Get out of your head and into the real world. Consider how fortunate we are to live in a time when we have access to all the information we could ever want, technology that allows us to grow, and the freedom to pursue any path that appeals to us. Everything we could ever want is right in front of us, but we refuse to embrace it. Why would we allow that to happen?
Nothing in life is more important than living it. Following the road we were supposed to take makes us feel more energised, liberated, and joyful; it's having the bravery to step over the obstacles, face the challenges, and be uncomfortable. And it's difficult at first, right? Change is difficult. Getting what you desire is simple; there is a period of hardship as you grow, but after you've made it through, you'll realise what true life is, which gets us back to the concept of time.
The greatest gift a human being can receive is our brief existence on this earth. You already have it. Never let it go to waste. The future isn't a time when you'll find happiness; it's a time when you'll continue to live every moment to the fullest from now until you die. Every trip around the Sun should be better than the one before it. Never let a few clouds or raindrops deprive you of your blessing. You should strive to be the finest version of yourself possible. Allow yourself to live the life you were born to live. All that is required is a simple decision.
