I was listening to a podcast the other day and she was talking about weather she gets jealous or envious of girls in their 20’s, as she was in her 40’s. She said something that I have never really thought about before.
She said it’s not her time anymore. She had her time in her 20’s and now she has different things to look forward to in her 40’s. It really stayed with me because we are constantly looking forward. Looking forward to the weekend, to our birthday, to being older, wiser, richer.
But today is the only day that you will ever be this age again. What are you going to do with it? Are you going to spend your entire 20’s looking forward to only look back one day and wish you had done the things you could have only done in your 20’s. With your 20 year old body and 20 year old life.
I’m not trying to say that you can’t do certain things in your 30’s and 40’s. I have no idea what it’s like to be 30. I hope I can still do everything that I can do now.
All I’m trying to say is… our time is short. Shorter than we could even imagine. So what are you putting off? What are you going to do ‘tomorrow’ or ‘one day’? Why not do it today? Why not do everything you’ve ever wanted? Take all the chances. Take all the opportunities. Say yes to everything. Be all that you can be and all that you dream about.
Say what you think. Live with passion. Be the 20 something that you will look back on and think, damn she really did that!!
I know you might not believe me, but right now… it’s your time. Do the things you’ll be proud of one day. Now is your time.
