What Are You Doing?

Don't waste your days.

I say things like this all the time but today I really want you to listen.

You will not get these days back.

Ever.

Life is sitting here in your hands. This very hour, this very minute, this very second.

There is someone in front of you that you can help.

Maybe with effort. Or maybe by turning away. I don't know that answer. Only you do.

Everything is not solved by more action.

Some things are solved by inaction and redirection. Yet few things are solved by only thought. So stop staring at the damn weight: lift it or quit it.

Get out of your own head and look at your life from another viewpoint.

Stand across the street or the gym from you and look at you.

Are you where you want to be?

If not, are you at least on the path to where you want to be? Or are you just wasting these days?
