You can start now

Not tomorrow. Not Monday. Not on New Year’s Day.

Right now.

There will always be another tomorrow to which you’ll be tempted to push it.

Until there isn’t.

If I had a battery over my head

The average human lifespan is about 80 years these days. That’s 4,160 weeks.

I got curious as to the percentage of my life I had left. So I did the math.

At 33 years old, I’ve lived about 1,716 weeks. If I’m lucky enough to make it to 80, I’ve already lived through 41% of my life.

That realization brought to mind an image of the battery icon at the top of my iPhone. 

If I had that same icon floating over my head, I’d only have a 59% charge remaining before I died. And I can’t recharge…

Memento mori. Remember, you will die.

Use that as fuel to live well. Work and act accordingly.
