The trouble is, you think you have time.

Nearly every day, I find myself worrying that something I’m trying to do will fail, which just paralyzes me with fear and doubt. I then have to talk myself into continuing to try, and keep the faith by reminding myself that in the end, none of the stuff I’m worried about will really matter. When we imagine ourselves at the end of our days in this life – which could be decades from now or as soon as tomorrow – it suddenly becomes very clear that NOW is the time to boldly reach for whatever inspires us and makes us come alive.
