Don't miss your life

Don’t miss your life:

‍

Don’t miss your life.

‍

Chasing.

‍

Grinding.

‍

Working.

‍

Don’t miss it.

‍

You won’t get it back.

‍

Time is the most important asset of your life.

‍

Nothing else even compares.

‍

Money?

‍

Absolutely not.

‍

We’re all going to the same place.

‍

In the ground.

‍

Yet we continue to believe that money, status and nice things will make us happy.

‍

They will make us fulfilled.

‍

They will give us the satisfaction we need to live a great life.

‍

Lies.

‍

All of it.

‍

None of that stuff will make you happy.

‍

Some might temporarily.

‍

But it won’t throughout your life.

‍

Experiences will.

‍

Strong relationships will.

‍

Having friends you can count on will.

‍

All of these will give your life meaning and joy.

‍

I’ve noticed this recently amongst my friend group.

‍

We all went to medical school.

‍

Now a lot of them have finished or are finishing their training.

‍

They’re about to start making big money.

‍

You know, doctor money.

‍

Some of them already have.

‍

But they’ve slowly realized the money chase is not going to fulfill them.

‍

It’s not going to make them whole.

‍

One of my friends specifically told me.

‍

‘I made 375k last year and I’m not happy.’

‍

Jim Carey said it best.

‍

‘I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that’s not the answer.’

‍

Money will not make you happy.

‍

You only need enough.

Enough to sustain yourself and your family.

‍

After that, it’s about experiences.

‍

Moments.

‍

Times with those you love.

‍

That’s what you take with you your whole life.

‍

Many of us, myself included, are trying to work as hard as we can to make a lot of money and retire.

‍

But a lot can miss in their life in that pursuit.

‍

You will never be 20 again.

‍

You will never be 30 again.

‍

Those days are gone.

‍

Sadly it’s only when you get later in your life do you realize all the time you missed.

‍

All the moments and memories and experiences.

‍

Ones you couldn’t experience because you were busy working.

‍

Work will always be there.

‍

It will never stop.

‍

So let it go.

‍

Take back your life.

‍

Take back your time.

‍

Be intentional.

‍

Set up experiences for yourself and your friends.

‍

Give yourself things to look forward to.

‍

Trips.

‍

Concerts.

‍

Dinners.

‍

Whatever it is, figure out what you like and do more of it.

‍

Don’t just sit behind a screen and waste your life away.

‍

Remember, time is your most precious asset.

‍

Don’t waste it.

‍

Don’t miss your life.
