"It's my life, it's now or never."
I’m not a huge 80s rock fan, but there’s a Bon Jovi song lyric that delivers a deeply motivational message. The lyric goes "It's my life, it's now or never, I ain't gonna live forever, I just want to live while I'm alive".
This strikes a deep chord in me. One of the primary focuses in my life right now is to find more life in life. If we have the blessing of receiving some form of privilege, our time on Earth is about more than just staying alive. It’s about feeling alive!
This is the feeling I’m chasing - an electric, buzzing, vibrating energy that makes you feel deeply inspired and motivated by how I’m showing up in life.
And I’ve made progress on this as every day I feel myself dreaming bigger, being bolder, pushing myself further, loving deeper, and experiencing more. And as I embrace this energy I’ve gathered more clarity and purpose in my life, which I feel is accelerating me and bringing to fruition the impact I want to make.
And if you’re looking for the path forward Bon Jovi gives it to you: "It's my life, it's now or never, I ain't gonna live forever, I just want to live while I'm alive".
The only moment we have control of is the present. The only time we can impact is now. So it’s our responsibility to take advantage of that because if you don’t truly live in the “right now”, then you never will.
It’s a good intention and I bet it’s not the first time you’ve heard it, but look at what often happens. Many people delay their life and wait for a different time when things are more settled. They postpone chasing their dream or transforming their health because it doesn’t make sense right now.
But don’t you want to make the most out of life? Don’t you want to have meaningful experiences, incredible moments of connection, and be proud of the difference you made because you went for it?
"It's my life, it's now or never, I ain't gonna live forever, I just want to live while I'm alive".
