Life is long enough

....if you know how to use it

Let’s talk about Time ⏳

( THREAD )
For having spent most of my teenage years tucked into a dark room, endlessly playing video games like COD, Halo & GTA, I never really got a chance to enjoy those years

Now, that’s what most will say

“I NEVER had the chance to do it!”
5 years ago, I would’ve believed that

But now, I recognize that statement as a lie.

It wasn’t that I NEVER got the chance, because I definitely did, it’s just I WASTED the time that was given to me

With that said, what are you doing today?

Are you being productive?
Are you letting time pass you by?

What should you be doing right now?

When you really think about it, how much of your allotted time do you actually spend LIVING?

When we are at a job we hate, or are doing nothing, we aren’t living, we’re EXISITING

That’s the difference
Here’s what I want you do do

I want you to hold an audit of your life

1. How much time do you devote to LIVING?

2. How much time do you devote to EXISTING?
Most people just exist because they don’t understand the VALUE of their time. People just blankly stare off into space like zombies, just going along with the process with no meaning to their actions

Is that really who you want to be?!

No? I didn’t think so
NO ONE told me this 5 years ago. I had to decide if was tired of EXISTING. I found Philosophy (Stoicism). My mindset & how I perceived life changed. My life changed. My world flipped upside down

I evolved

YOU can too by putting an end to all meaningless activities
Life is LONG, most just WASTE it

Think about all of the time we waste scrolling through social media, or the time we spend talking about OTHERS, watching endless seasons of Tv shows that do nothing to enhance our lives.
We give so freely to others our TIME, but are stingy with our material things

Remember, all of the time we give to others takes away time from ourselves

Think about that.

We give away the freely the ONE thing we can’t get back, or more of
Another thing

We live to live in the future, but exist for today

Re-read that

People will EXIST today living in anticipation for LIVING two weeks from now when they go on vacation

Does that make any sense? No
Or they make luxurious plans for themselves in retirement. They say they will travel the world next week, or in 20 years, or do this, that and the other at some future date.

Neither matters.
Who told you that time will guarantee you being alive in two weeks, or in 20 years? Or be the good health that will allow you such luxurious plans?

Why are you so certain time will grant you this?

@Sociopathlete gets it 👊🏼
Get a firm grip on that thought

Your entire future, including 1 hr from now, Tommorow and next week, all lie in UNCERTAINTY

LIVE it up today & everyday

Studs like @thegreatgatzb & @ConquerorVlad know this too well.
If you were going to die Tommorow, who or what would you give your last hours to?

Think like that daily, and act as if Tommorow death will be calling your name

See your time as fleeting, every second, hour and minute will NEVER come back.

This will make you hungry @ipb_media
Don’t become to occupied with anything meaningless. This is a waste of your most precious asset, TIME. Preoccupation with the meaningless, whether that be with people or activities, will occupy your time with waste, leaving you no time for yourself
Preoccupation with the meaningless will leave you saying things like “ life is too short!”

No, it’s not, your just wasting it!

Be stingy with your time & Guard it with your life!

Soon time won’t exist for you
How to live today;
1. Enjoy nature
2. Cultivate new relationships
3. Workout
4. Write your stories, document your life
5.face your fears, find adversity
6.Take action
7. See the world, explore
8. See the beauty in everything
9. Spend time with loved ones, meet new people
List of JUST existing:
1.watching too much tv
2. Being unhealthy
3. No goals
4. Never is with nature
5. Avoids social interactions
6. Faces ZERO adversity and takes no risks
7. Complains
8. Makes excuses for everything
9. Holds on to toxic people
As Seneca says..

Just because someone has white hair & wrinkles, doesn’t mean they’ve LIVED long, they’ve just EXISTED long

Age dictates years EXISTED, not LIVED
Thank you for taking the time to read this

One word: URGENCY

View your life as an URGENT mission that must be undertaken immediately, today & everyday

Stop complaining today

Start living
