Inspiring Speech (Featuring Eddie Pinero)

Time is all we have, this moment, right now.There’s only one thing in our lives we’re not able to reacquire once it’s gone, and i’m not talking about money, i’m not talking about material items, i’m talking about time.And it’s such a unique concept, unique idea, because when utilized correctly it contains within it the ingredients to success, to happiness, to growth and prosperity – all the things we want.But at the very same time, if neglected, it leaves us with very little.

Because the truth is every morning when you wake up, you are living minutes you will never get back. You are breathing in air you will never take in again.It’s your one opportunity to embrace this gift – And every second sees a little of it slip away. And my point is that there is no moment more important, more perfect than right now.Not in a week, not after your promotion, not in 30 years when you plan to retire and relax – right now.See, we have this mentality that the future is going to somehow mean more than the present.That, if we suffer now, or if we are unhappy now, that we will save the best in life for “some other time”.But the reality is we don’t get younger. Yes we should be working hard, absolutely.Success comes from effort, dedication, persistence. But the key is: allocate your precious time to the work, to the things that make you feel like TODAY is powerful. That RIGHT NOW is so amazing you don’t want it to end.

Today is when you take the first step toward the things you want, when you become who YOU want to become.No one is ever or will ever keep you from that, other than yourself.There is no ceiling, there are no limitations, there is no special requirement.There is YOU and what YOU allow yourself to accomplish. You are the gatekeeper, you have your foot on the gas pedal.And, it’s so easy to point to other right? To point to our environment, to blame things on everything, but out own decision.Our decision to stick to the status quo. Because, believe it or not, it’s that simple.You are where you are because that’s where you’ve decided to be, and you’ve accepted that as OK.Look, if you want change, then manufacture change. Create a plan and MOVE, GO, transform. Step out of your head, and into the real world.Think about how lucky we are. To be alive in this day in age, with access to all the information we could ever dream of. Technology that enables growth, the freedom to pursue any path that looks appealing.Anything we could ever want is right in front of us, yet we don’t embrace it, why? Why on earth would we let that be?
