This ancient truth has been expressed by many different thinkers. Now, 3 months into recovery from spinal injury and continuing daily physical therapy, there is a truth that burns inside of me. This truth challenges me. It will not let me rest. It demands I offer my best self in all interactions. The truth reveals itself with every sharp lightning bolt of pain that travels down my leg from my spine.
The truth is this, "
do not wait for tomorrow." Act now, speak now, live now, love now. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. I expect to live a long time. I experience daily painful reminders that today,
now, is all I have.
This beautiful life is not a dress rehearsal. This is the only life we get. No more putting off truth, joy, love, gratitude, forgiveness. "Drop everything and follow me." - Jesus
