Lack of Urgency Arguably the single most significant cause of
mediocrity and unfulfilled potential, which prevents 95% of
our society from creating and living the life they truly want,
is that most people have no sense of urgency to improve
themselves so they can improve their lives. Human nature is
to live with a “someday” mindset and think life will work itself out. How’s that working out for everybody?
This someday mindset is perpetual, and it leads to a
life of procrastination, unfulfilled potential and regret. You
wake up one day and wonder what the heck happened; how
did your life end up like this? How did you end up like this?
One of the saddest things in life is to live with regret,
knowing that you could have, be, and do so much more.
Remember this truth: now matters more than any
other time in your life, because it’s what you are doing
today that is determining who you’re becoming, and who
you’re becoming will always determine the quality and
direction of your life.
If you don’t make the commitment today to start
becoming the person you need to be to create the
extraordinary life you really want, what makes you think
tomorrow—or next week, or next month, or next year—are
going to be any different? They won’t. And that’s why you
must draw your line in the sand.
