“As each day arises, welcome it as the very best day of all, and make it your own possession. We must seize what flees.” — Seneca
The calendar tells you how many days you have lived.
But nothing that can tell you how many days you have left.
The only thing you know for sure? One day you will live your last day.
Could be decades, could be years from now. But, it is possible that today is your last day on earth. You never know.
All you can be certain of is that no matter how much time you have left, your time here is short.
But don’t let the specter of your own death and the uncertainty of how much time remains paralyze you.
Let it inspire you. Let it spring you into action. Let it force you to treasure every single day you have remaining in this brief life.
The riskiest assumption you can make is that you can do it tomorrow.
Tomorrow may never come.
The time for action is now. The time to make those amends, to believe in yourself, to start that big project, to say “yes” to life.
Shoot your shot. Today is the day for that.
Not tomorrow, not next month, not next year.
Today.
Every morning you awake you are presented with a beautiful gift. The gift of another day. Don’t take any of them for granted.
They are all unique and special.
And in limited supply.
Act now while supplies last.
