You Think You Have Time

Triple Espresso:

You think you have time.

You don't.

Truth told, time has you.

Now we could get into a philosophical discussion around time, how it doesn't really exist beyond a construct in our mind, flow states, and much more.?

That's not the purpose today.

The purpose is to remind you that what we all perceive as time is finite.?

We're all 1099 contractors to life; and our contract is going to be up, long before we're ready for it to be.

Count on it.

Still with me?

Now I know you don't like hearing this or talking about this. We'd rather avoid it and think that the shocking things that happen to others will never happen to us.

Somehow if we know enough, eat right, meditate, exercise, pray enough, or even just live really protected and "risk-free" lives (no such thing), then it may happen to others but surely not to me.

Wrong.

None of us is immune.

When you acknowledge it, embrace it, come to terms with it, you can begin to use it.

Look, there's not one single power in this entire universe that can guarantee you'll wake up tomorrow.

Now you think you probably will, and you're probably right. But you really can't be sure.?

Nor can I.

So we put off our dreams, our big ideas, and our lives, with stories:

1. When I pay off the house...

2. When I get out of debt...

3. When the kids leave for college...

4. When I get this amount of money in the bank...

5. When I get one more degree, skill, training...

6. Whatever, whatever, good story and excuse...

THEN, I'll go for it.

But nearly 156,000 people exit life every single day of the week. 6,316 every single hour, 105 every single minute of every day, almost 2 people every single second.?

Read that again and let it sink deeply in.

Think about it. In the time you're investing to read this, a couple of hundred people have exited.

I submit that many (if not most), were not ready to go yet; and many were taken by surprise.

You have the gift of what the Buddhists call the "Precious human life." TODAY. You can't be sure about tomorrow. Me either.

Make the best of it. Invest every single second, and all of your energies in developing yourself and your own personal greatness.

For you can't give to the world what you don't have.
