Guilt ends your life before your death

Mixed in with the stories from your past are seasons where you did not use your time as well as you could have.

You delayed for what you now see was no good reason. You feared what you now see was never a threat. You distracted yourself with what you now see was not so important.

You wasted time. You missed opportunities. You have dragged certain dreams through the mud of inaction and left them sinking in the quicksand of time.

Who among us can look back without recognizing these experiences from our own lives?

Let that memory spark your self-awareness. Let that awareness trigger your self-discipline. Let that discipline ignite your self-confidence.

Let go of the time you didn’t use well. Let go of the opportunities you missed. Let go of the actions you didn’t take.

Don’t let guilt over wasted time cause you to waste the time right in front of you. Don’t let regret over missed opportunities cause you to miss your opportunities right now.

The only cure for regret and guilt is to do what you can now. It’s not too late. It’s right on time. Because the past is gone. Now is the only time that exists.

Here you are with another chance. Here you are with another choice.

Brick by brick. Do the work.
