You Think You Have Time

And that's why you're not doing most of the things you should do.

Imagine you wake up in the middle of the night.

When you don't know what time it is and can simply get back to sleep, you feel OK. You don't know you're 40 minutes away from the alarm ring. You happily and contently go back to sleep. And when the alarm does ring, you wake up as if you didn't just toss in bed only 40 minutes before that.

But what happens when you do get to see the clock? Don't you feel the blood rising through your veins? The anxiousness rushing in? The anticipation of not being able to fall back asleep within the short time you have left?

Is it just me, or that's just the way most of us go through life?

Not knowing how much time you have left before the alarm rings, you're more relaxed. But it should be the opposite.

Assume you don't have much time left

And you'll be amazed at how much you can achieve.

Of course, some of us are unfortunate enough to learn that they really don't have much time left. Life changes entirely to them from that moment on.

Yet for the rest of us?
