You'd be amazed at so many people in the world today who think things that they don't do
Meant to do it never got it done. It's hard to bring something from thought life to action
Maybe it's because we live in a world of procrastinators
People who have great ideas and great goals and great visions and great obstacles and great problems
and so they sit down with their ideas and their goals and say, you know, I'll put it on hold
And they look and the years go by and the hair turns white and the knees get stiff and they just thought it
But they never did it see the older I get the more I realize
That you can't take life nor moments for granted
I can a deal personally I can deal with death better than I can deal with regret
Whatever I gotta say to you I'd rather say whatever I want to give you
I want to give it whatever I need to express I want to express it because the next second is not promised
All you have is the fierce urgency of now right now
You don't have long to get over whatever you're going to get over climb over your inhibitions or fear
The clock is ticking while you are thinking about it. You are running out of time there's a rush
to do it
There's a rush to go after your dreams
There the rush to go after your goals if you don't hurry up and do it
You won't get it done and the most dangerous people are people who miss their turn
Bitter people who miss their turn will try to kill your future
They will become a Saul in your life and they will hate you
Over something that you didn't have anything to do with they'll hate you David over a turn they missed
There is nothing as bad as the sad memories of a lost opportunity
Lost opportunities it's a gift from God to have an opportunity
When you woke up this morning God gave you an opportunity
What can be a better gift than to get an opportunity
And what a tragic waste it is to have an opportunity and not use it
Not maximize it, not live it to its fullest and to assume
You have tomorrow
how arrogant of you
to assume
that you have tomorrow
when in fact all you have for sure
Is right now right
Get it right, right now
Get it said right now, get it done right now, open your heart right now
Write the letter right now
Express the love right now
because if you don't
I can tell you from experience
Coffins can't hear
And regret is poor company
Sitting in a nursing home saying I miss my turn
I can tell you this age doesn't give you a do-over
It's terrible to get old and miss your youth
It's terrible to be divorced and miss your marriage
I'm ready to be a good wife now, it's too late
I'd be a great parent now. The kids are gone
They're here a moment, they're gone the next moment if you don't get it right you don't always get a do-over
You'd be surprised at the unwritten books in this room
The businesses that are in your head
That never get built, the ministries that are in you that are never
evolving never created, the poems you didn't write, the songs you didn't sing, the books
you didn't create, the job you never went after, the interview you didn't pursue, the chance that you didn't take
