516: Why Obsessing Over Tomorrow Will Destroy Your Today

Today, I explore the powerful and sometimes daunting theme of mortality to inspire you to seize life's opportunities with courage and gratitude. Discover how embracing your own mortal journey can fuel your drive to not just live but thrive. Tune in for an empowering talk on taking the critical shot in this game called life.

Here are three key takeaways:

  1. Embrace Mortality for Motivation: Understanding that life is finite can be a driving force for pouring your all into the present. Use your awareness of mortality as a catalyst for living a life full of purpose and action.
  2. Take the Shot, No Matter the Stakes: Just like playing a halftime basketball game, it's important to take your best shot in life, regardless of the fear of failure. The real victory lies in the attempt, not the outcome.
  3. Pray, Focus, and Be Grateful: I emphasize praying about your concerns, focusing on the single task at hand, and maintaining gratitude for every opportunity. These steps can guide you toward making confident life and business decisions.
