I'm up early. Drinking coffee. Listening to Morcheeba. Writing in my journal. About where I'm at in my life, as I close in on 42. About what I'm grateful for (for example, people like you who allow me to do what I do - thank you). About what needs to get done in the coming days/weeks/months/years for me to feel like I've made my impact and done my dream. Then an insight surfaced. Needed to share it with you.
The compelling idea: This day is so very special. Sure, it arrives like all the others. Looks the same. Might even feel the same. But it is unique. It'll never come again. Time's like that. Comes full of promise and leaves before you know it. What you do between today's sunrise and sunset is creating your destiny, your future, your legacy. And a single choice you make today can change your life over the coming months if consistently acted upon.
Spoke to a friend last night. He said something I slept on: “my wife's God is money. My God is time.” I get what he meant: he knows time is the scarcest resource. Use it well and life sends you the extraordinary. Waste it and your heart feels empty. And your life looks hollow.
This day is special. Honor it. Do something great today. I know you can. Will you?
