While we are postponing, life speeds by. Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting. Essentialism is not about how to get more things done; it's about how to get the right things done. One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful. 20 years from now, you'd give anything to be: this exact age, this healthy, back in this exact moment. Take a second to enjoy it now. God gave you a gift of 86 400 seconds today. Have you used one to say thank you? Today is a most unusual day, because we have never lived it before; we will never live it again; it is the only day we have. You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry, don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way. You can do anything but not everything. Realize deeply that the present moment is all you will ever have.
