The problem is you think you have time.

And because of that, people wait.

They wait to travel.
Wait to forgive.
Wait to say “I love you.”
Wait to become the person they already know they should become.

Then suddenly one day a doctor closes the door behind them and says:
“There’s not much time left.”

And all the ordinary moments instantly become priceless.

Young people think death is what steals life from them.

No.

Distraction steals life.
Fear steals life.
Ego steals life.
Living on autopilot steals life.

The old man is not crying because he is dying.

He is crying because he finally understands how unbelievably beautiful life was while he was too busy to notice it.

Right now, somewhere in the world, someone is taking their final drive home.
Someone is hearing their child laugh for the last time.
Someone is looking at the sky without realizing it will soon disappear forever.

And meanwhile millions of healthy people are wasting today like it is a rehearsal.

This is not a rehearsal.

This is it.
