“You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone.” This is a matter of fact and existence as guaranteed as death and taxes, yet so often unconsidered. We take the blessings of health and youth, of wisdom and experience, of love and family for granted, as if they are some inalienable rights that will exist into eternity, subject to our whim. Bullshit. Life and its many trappings are fleeting fancies, constantly evaporating into the air like mist from the roaring sea. Live in the “now”, never underestimating the value of your life or overestimating the world’s preoccupation with your own personal survival. As I sit here and contemplate the magnitude of life and my potential to contribute to history I am given pause. Not for the greatness and glory of all yet to be achieved, but for the scarcity of the moments I have left to do so. Time waits for no man. Remember that when looking too far into the future and shrugging off the moment that you’re living in. Express your feelings to those you love, hug your mom and dad, kiss your daughter on her cheek. Walk your dog… Read a book… And be thankful for these little things. When you fail on a lift or critique your physique in the mirror, never settle. But at the same time, be proud of all of the pain and sacrifice it took to get to this point. Because this moment, right here, that has your balls in a vice, may be as good as it ever gets… So make the most of it motherfucker. If you haven’t realized it yet, this struggle is your life. This knockdown, drag-out brawl is your journey… It ain’t a segment on Entertainment Tonight. You are dust and unto dust you shall return… Will the cascade of your cinders be littered with the fragments of precious metals or merely a cloud of dirt on the wind? k+

This is worded too well, it’s overwhelming
