“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing” — Theodore Roosevelt

We are now in an interesting moment in time. The world is moving fast, time flies quite fast and we are getting more and more close together. The internet is breaking barriers like distance and language fast and surely.

It allows us also to find out the latest news, be connected with the vibe of the world and with our friends. That is ok, it is normal, but something is actually happening deep inside us in the meantime.

The thief

The most valuable resource we humans have is time. It is everything and once we deplete it, there is nothing else left. Without time, there are no money, no health, no relationship… just nothing.

But even now, without you knowing, there is somebody that is taking that away from you, slowly but surely. That person is undeniably a ruthless thief and killer at the same time, because when they finish they will kill you for good.

And that person… is You!

You are killing yourself right at this moment…

In the moment…

Let’s take a moment and just think. Stop reading for a second and try to answer the following question…

Are you spending all your time and effort to reach your next goal?

Now take a moment and think about it… Don’t cheat, think about it.

If the answer is Yes than I congratulate you! You did it!

If the answer is Not Yes, but anything else, you are not alone. Most of us are just like this, we are not giving our full energy, time and dedication to reach our next goal. We are caught in the noise, in this big interconnected world full of energy and without realising… we get lost.

We find ourselves scrolling through tens or hundreds of posts on different social media sites, checking our emails or the RSS feeds for the latest article we missed. When our phone rings, beeps or vibrates we got to check it immediately… after all it might be something important, right?

The next step?

I won’t sell you the self help bullshit you can find online, or the great “You can do it!” cliche. The fact is… you actually can’t do it. Yes, that’s true… you are not going to make it.

Why is that? … Because to chance something, you must take a break, take a step back… or lots of steps backwards and zoom out, analyse yourself and everything you are doing right now. Recheck all your goals and prfioritize them. And even then… you won’t make it.

Because once you do that, you have to START DOING IT, start taking every step toward that one goal and hold nothing back. Take a wrong turn, fall on your face if you have to, but keep doing it!

Only when we are doing it, taking every step, we have a chance to actually work it out.
