A few thoughts on time…
It's hard to find something more valuable than time.
That's why I'm always amazed when I see people complaining about time passing by, and then binge-watching on social media, Netflix and other trivial things.
I used to do that too.
But I learned, the hard way, that life is just a glimpse.
In fact, I lost my girlfriend in a car accident when I was 22.
When I truly woke up, I was in my mid 30s.
I then started to work on myself, changed a few bad habits and started creating instead of consuming.
I had realized one thing:
to live the life I wanted, I had to create it.
So, instead of waiting, I had to take action.
Instead of living with fear, I had to take risks.
Instead of loving perpetual comfort, I had avoid it.
Instead of complaining, I had to be responsible.
In sum,
I realized my life was in my hands.
And I didn't want to throw it away.
Does that make sense to you?
