This Moment

How long will it take before you realise that you’re wasting time?

That the window of opportunity you have to chase your dreams and do what you enjoy is closing with every passing day?

Time eventually takes us all - when and how isn’t up to us.

This life is a gift, a blessing, afforded by a delicate balance in the universe that won’t last forever.

This experience will be over in the blink of an eye, and everything you ever were will be forgotten about within a few generations.

It makes a case for not showing up, for not trying, and for not chasing your dreams.

Or, depending on how you look at it, it makes the argument for doing precisely the opposite.

Knowing that your time here is finite begs why you should ever be complacent, why you should ever be content with not giving it everything you’ve got.

You spend so much time worrying about what others may think of you that you forget it’s okay to dream big, to imagine a better future.

This life is filled with wonder, mystery, and beauty - you should chase it without fear.

Despite your pain and suffering, it’s important to wander, to let the moment carry you somewhere you might not have been before, but there’s a balance between that and doing what is necessary to make progress.

This moment is yours if you want it; it’s a choice - a life of curiosity, progress, and truth or one of complacency, regret, and suffering.

Choose wisely.
