You Are Going to Die
Sorry to break the bad news.
But it begs the question…
If you know how the story ends, why not make the middle really darn good?
Like really darn good.
Put down your little dopamine machine and go do something.
Build something.
Feel something.
Risk something.
Change someone’s life.
Change your life.
Learn.
Travel.
Build.
Break.
Try again.
Study your heroes.
Pick up a camera and say something to younger you.
Fall in love.
Lose it.
Find it again.
Find yourself.
Lose yourself.
Get obsessed with something that makes you forget to check your phone.
Because someday, you’ll run out of “somedays.”
And all that will matter is whether you actually lived.
And remember what Mom said about the measure of a life.
It is not the number of breaths you take.
It is the number of times your breath is taken away.
Drop the phone.
Go live.
And tell the story.
