The Spark: Missed Opportunities 10/07/2023

Every day, you are given 24 hours to make choices, and those choices serve as triggers for change.

Think about today. Was there anything you would have liked to do but did not?

Think about the day before yesterday. Was there anything you would have liked to do but did not?

Think about last week...

Think about last month...

Think about last year...

How many missed opportunities are there?

1, 10, 100?

If you have zero missed opportunities, then congratulations! You have no regrets, and you have accomplished everything you need. You are truly living your life!

Consider what prevents you from taking action. Is there always the same reason?

• If you are in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or 60s and you have always dreamt of skateboarding, why not start now?
• If you are working somewhere you don't want to be, what steps can you take to change that?
• If you have been longing for a better body, when can you start working towards it?
• If you suddenly realize that acting is your true passion, how can you begin pursuing it?
• If there is a book on your list that you haven't been able to start or finish for years, how can you make time for it?
• If you have been yearning for a vacation at your dream destination, when can you find the time to make it happen?

The answer is TODAY.

• Read a book today.
• Do push-ups today.
• Skateboard today.
• Book a ticket today.

Create a plan for a better version of yourself today. It all comes down to choice. You can start today because circumstances will always be there. There will always be family, kids, friends, work, and countless other reasons and people. But the choice still rests with you.

Someday, when you look back on the past, you might think, "I had a choice back then, and at least I tried." If you're seeking change in your life, you still have today.
