I know too many peers living a #YOLO life. They eat, drink and spend whatever they want - without consideration of the long term consequences. They waste their time and resources serving their short term satisfactions but not their long term goals. As a result, many are struggling to have families later on in life, many don’t have proper savings or a healthy mind, body and spirit.
Dream every day. Think about what you want in 5 years. What innate skill do you possess that will positively serve others? Where would you like to go and who do you want to become? Live with intent. Know that every day passed is a moment in time that will never come again. No one is getting younger - each day we are closer to our inevitable end.
So stop giving in. Start disciplining your body’s desires. Start controlling your mind. Start thinking about an intentional future and how every action, food and person impacts your body and overall goals.
Don’t let the world steam roll you! Even though it tries to! Even though it HAS in the past (just like it has me!) It’s ok! We will all be ok! But some of us WILL have it better, because we wanted better for ourselves.
