Live Now, Not One Day
The clock doesn’t announce the last laugh or the final hug and that truth can change how we live today. After losing a beloved cousin, we look hard at the quiet habits that steal our time
Life is waiting for you each day, and you have to prepare for each challenge along the way toward success. It's not simple, but it can be done. Welcome to my Common Sense Motivation Episodes. I'm Chris FantasticPow. This is a special dedication to my great cousin who passed away a few days ago and to his family and friends and to anyone who's recently lost someone they love. Life really is short. And time, time is even shorter than most of us want to admit. We all do it, we all say it, one day. One day I'll take that trip. One day I'll start the practice. One day I'll start that project. One day I'll visit that family member or friend I haven't seen in years. One day I'll get married. One day I'll slow down and really spend time with my kids. One day I'll take that vacation. One day becomes our favorite lie to ourselves. My cousin was a great man and a great friend. He lived, he built, he accomplished many things in his life. And yet, like all of us, there were still conversations left unfinished, plans that lived only in words, and moments we assumed we'd always have more time for. We used to talk for hours about life, about choices, about things we could have done differently. And at some point we realized something powerful. We were walking through the museum of the past, a place you can visit but never change. The past does not respond to regret. It does not move for hate. It does not heal for remorse. Only now matters. We spend years wasting minutes, not realizing that time is the most valuable commodity known to mankind. You can make more money, you can replace things, you can rebuild businesses, but you can never retrieve a minute once it's gone. Life doesn't warn you when the last conversation is coming. It doesn't announce the final hug. It doesn't schedule the last laugh. That's why now matters. If you're listening to this and there's someone you need to call, call them. If there's love you've been holding back, give it. If there's a dream you keep postponing, start it. If there's forgiveness you've been avoiding, release it. Don't live in your life waiting for one day. Live it in this day. Because life is short, time is precious, and the only moment we truly own is right now. Honor those we've lost by fully living while you're still here. Make it happen. I'm Chris Fantastic Powell. Thank you for listening.
