It’s extremely important that we operate with a sense of urgency.

We are not promised tomorrow.

The timelines we set are likely to be the timelines that become true.

If we do not imagine when something should be achieved, accomplished, acquired, then it becomes very likely that it might never happen.

If you want it, act like it. Be urgent about it. Create a plan. Define what it is. Get serious about it.

I think it’s important to have some sense of this, because we can get caught up in the day to day. Even these days, when I feel so incredibly busy, getting carried away by the motions, I still need frequent check-ins. I still need more honesty. I still need to be way more effective, if I want pursue the life that I want to pursue.

I need to challenge myself to think that maybe, just maybe, I am capable of becoming a new person today. And I need to challenge myself to think that everyday.

What is this new version of me capable of? What is this new version of me going to do better than the old version of me? How is the new version of me going to address the problems that the old version left behind?

I don’t have much time here.

I want to be a good son, brother, friend, co-founder. I want to be braver. I want to love more. I want to climb and run more. I want to walk slower and have quiet mornings to myself. There’s so much more that I want to do.

I don’t think I’ll be able to do any of these things if I don’t live with a greater sense of urgency.
