I am truly, wholeheartedly, fully and utterly in love with this video. It’s about seizing the day. Carpe diem. Making it count. Your life, your days, your thoughts, your actions. It’s inspirational on so many levels and a reminder that life is too short.
I love to travel and I love to explore new places. My actions definitely express that (I travel quite often for work, but I do lots of personal travel as well.) I feel compelled to explore new places, as if I were a Spanish explorer braving the Atlantic in a previous life. The video deeply resonated with me on that level.
One of the best quotes used in the video is Gandhi’s, “action expresses priorities.” How true is that. We always have the time for things we think are important. So next time you hear someone say, “I’m sorry, but I wish I had the time,” you should know that they mean, “I’m sorry, but this is not a priority of mine.”
What are your priorities in life and do your actions reflect that? What compels you and are you doing it?
