Now or Later

The truth is, time flys. This life seems to always be moving at warp speed. Don’t believe me? Take a look down memory lane. Pull up pictures of yourself or your family from five or ten years ago. Does it really feel like it has already been years and years since those pictures were taken?

My questions to you this week are these: What is it that you keep putting off? Why do you keep putting it off? When are you going to actually get around to making it happen?

Time is the one commodity that we have, where we do not know how much we have left. Time is also one of the things that we too often take for granted. We waste so much of it. We give so much of it away to pointless or empty activities. Kobe Bryant put it this way; ‘The biggest mistake we make in life, is thinking that we have time.’

We can learn from the past. We can live in the present moment. And we can plan for the future. The clock is always ticking. Unfortunately, the window of opportunity closes a little more every single day.

So what is it that you are here for? What will you be remembered for when you are gone? What will be the lasting impact that you have had on others? If you have not thought about this, perhaps you should before it is too late.

Here are a few questions that you can ask yourself, while you still have the opportunity. Who and what are you passionate about? What is your life’s purpose? What are things that are stealing the time you have? Who or what needs to receive more of your focus and energy?

As a whole, I believe people need to take the time to realize the value of their time. Hopefully, you and I can take the remaining time that we have left, and use it more wisely and intentionally. Hopefully, we can be more proactive in managing our activity and relationships.

What are you planning on doing with the time you have left? I hope you choose to make it count!
