Time is ticking. Tic Toc, Tic Toc.

People are alive for an average of 674,968 hours.

And let’s say you’re 30 years old. You’ve already lived 262,974 hours! How were they?

So you have got about 411, 994 hours left

But, we spend an average of a third of our lives asleep so in reality you will only be awake foe another 274 662 hours.

And then I suppose you’ll be going to the loo, showering, standing in a queue. That will take out a few hours.

So let’s say, rounded to a nice even figure, you have 250,000 hours of good living left. Does this sound like a lot? Put it another way:  you’ve already spent more hours on this earth than you have left to really live.

What’s more, you will spend most of this time working or doing something related to work. Whether it’s doing work, talking about work, traveling for work, thinking about work, commuting for work, buying clothes for work, buying supplies for work, planning for work, etc.

Do you love you’re work?

If you had to spend the majority of the rest of your waking hours doing one thing, would it be something you absolutely hate to do?

Why in the world would you not make the effort to spend the majority of the rest of your life doing something you love?

By the way, you are now at least 30 seconds more dead than you were before you got here. Tic toc, tic toc,

I’m not saying you need to work for yourself. I’m saying don’t just “tread water” thinking the job you’re e in is safe and secure. It isn’t. No job is really.  So you might as well find something you enjoy with the exact same security!

Or put it this way.

The alarm goes off at 6 or 7 am. How do you feel? Do you haul yourself out of bed. Sleep walk downstairs wishing you were still in bed. Feeling exhausted before the day has started. Or is it Saturday? There’s a brief feeling of euphoria. You don’t have to get out of bed and can tell the alarm where to go. Sadly, the former is a more regular occurrence.

Wouldn’t it be better for it to be the other way round? To have the Saturday feeling on a regular basis?

It can happen. I have done it. It can only come from doing something you truly love on a daily basis. Something you are passionate about. And you could get paid for doing it!

Remember: Living is more than just being alive. Don’t just exist!

The people who succeed at being more than just ‘alive’ are the people who’ve found a deeply rooted passion or love for something.

Are you one of these people? Do you want to be one of these people?  If you do there is literally nothing stopping you. If you really want it that is.

Identify what you love. What you enjoy. What you’re passionate about.  Research what you need to do to incorporate this into your world. Does it mean stating out on your own? Moving/ changing jobs?

Make plans to do this. Execute it. GO FOR IT!  YOU CAN DO IT, you know you can. Take action.

Do it. Do it NOW
