Fast-Forward with me to the end of your life.
Imagine that you know you’re about to die.
You’ve got 5 minutes left.
Just enough time to recount memories.
You might be lying in a hospital bed.
You might be spending time with family.
Now.
What do you regret?
What do you wish you did?
What’s the source of that deep pain in your gut?
Which times were the fulfilling ones?
Which moments were completely wasted?
Who do you wish you spent more time with?
Who should you have cut ties with long ago?
What do you wish you pursued?
What were you supposed to do?
Now, stop lying to yourself about your “investments” and “obligations.”
This life will be ended with a period, not a comma.
There are no second chances.
Any one thing that you do that doesn’t push toward that dream or a full life is a waste of time.
Don’t waste your life.
