We Have All the Time in the World: Living in the Present

I really enjoyed “No Time to Die”, a worthy end of the Daniel Craig James Bond era. He went down hard, saving his family and the world. Which is pretty much the best any hero can do. 

I loved the testament from Jack London that the MI6 team gave him at the end. 

“The function of man is to live not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.”

The question then: are you spending time on things that really matter? Things that are worthy of the time you have here on earth. Things that are grand and society positive. Or even small things like making a stranger smile or helping alleviate some persons anguish or pain. 

It’s a good reminder for me personally. Surviving and existing is not enough. We owe ourselves and our families to do more. To Live. Truly Live. Doing things of high impact. 

And It’s not always just about personal happiness or pleasure, but about mission and doing hard things that make us proud. Accomplishing things. Even the attempt itself is worthy. 

If you are not doing what you want, what’s stopping you? Don’t waste your precious time and get started! 

As the saying in another great movie “Shawshank Redemption” goes, “Get busy Living or get Busy Dying!”
