Catching the stride of life can easily escape any of us. We forget that one thing we are all limited by, time. Time is one of the only things that we cannot make more of. Yet, we live our lives carelessly like we have all of the time in the world. We put our dreams aside assuming we can get back to them later. We put our hopes on the desk, planning to deal with them another time. But time is escaping us daily. We may not have as much as we think.

Death is such a somber subject to talk about even if you do believe in an afterlife. It is still scary to think of as an occurrence in your life. Death is permanent and it is the end of our time as a physical being in this mindset on this earth. The biggest fear we all carry is the fact that we do not know exactly how things will play out when we die. But despite these facts, we live like there is a guaranteed tomorrow when the truth is, it is not. Think about someone close to you that you lost unexpectedly. We always think, “That is so sad for them.” Deep down, we cannot imagine it happening to ourselves. But we are just as susceptible as the next person. Anything can lead to our end. Because at the end of the day, we are only human.

Knowing that time continues even when you are gone, you need to become inspired. Inspired to truly live in a carpe diem state just a little more often. Go on that vacation. Call that crush. Tell your truth. Be as you as you can be. Time is forever moving and every breath is a gift. With this knowledge, it is critical that you take the time to actually start doing the things you love. It is time to start reaching those goals you have set. It is key to start participating in your present life because tomorrow is never promised. Life is not slowing down for you, so keep up!

Are you keeping up with life? Or are you selling yourself short?
