Man alive time is flying!

I’m doing a 15 Days To 40 Series - and I’ve already missed a couple days!

My Mom has always said -

“The older you get - the faster time goes!”

And like most of the things she’s told me over the years - she’s right on that one too!

If you haven’t read my last post - www.weswyatt.com/blog/15-days-to-40-day-3-bob-bond - be sure to check it out!

We lost a great friend a few days ago - and there have been a lot of people leaving comments about him.

That brings me to our post today. (Pssst…can you keep a secret?  It’s not really 11:29p on Thursday.  It’s actually 2:30a on Friday!  But I couldn’t handle missing 2 days in a row!  Shhhhh…keep it on the down low.)

Why do we:

• Put things off until later?
• Wait until someone passes away to tell them how much they mean to us?
• Only take action when under a stressful deadline and/or when we HAVE to?
• Think of ourselves instead of others?

I know what you’re thinking - “Oh GEEZ!  Wes is getting ready to turn 40 AND he just lost a friend who was almost the same age - and he’s feeling his mortality!”

There might be some truth to that - but there’s even more realization on my part that everything listed above are things we shouldn’t be waiting to do - because we might not be here to do them!

I remember after watching The Last Lecture with Randy Pausch - saying the same things to myself.  And now - just as I missed a few days in this serious - I missed SEVERAL weeks and months in my intentions!

And again - we just don’t have it to waste or take for granted!

Perform a Random Act of Kindness!  Your church WILL know of a family / families that could really use a Thanksgiving Basket, Christmas Presents, and/or Winter Clothing.

Give to a charity!

Call a friend you haven’t spoke to in a while!

Apologize and/or accept an apology for an ongoing disagreement!

Drop off a bag of Dog / Cat Food to a shelter / rescue!

Read 10 pages of a book EVERY day!

Say, “I Love You!” a couple more times that you normally would to those you love!

Play with your kids - and act like one while you’re at it!

And most importantly - don’t waste time!  You can NEVER get it back!

Go out there and do amazing things with what you have left!

I’d love for you to drop me a comment letting me know what you’re going to do to make every moment count - or don’t and pet your dog or cat instead!

Catch you on the day of the series…
