Live with Intention: Making Every Moment Count
5 November 2023
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." — George Bernard Shaw
The whisper of autumn has passed, and the festive aura of the holiday season looms on the horizon. It’s a time that evokes reflection, and what better catalyst for that than the profound words of Abraham Lincoln, shared in the latest episode of the Inspiration Nation podcast: "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years."
For those hungry for growth, those ready to sculpt their destiny, this episode 242 is a treasure trove of wisdom.
The Core Message
The conversation between Lee Kemp, Jose Noya, and Ryan Boniface transcends the banter and taps into a universal truth — the value of life is not in its duration but in its donation. It's not about how many days you live but how much life you pack into those days.
Learning from Titans
Take, for example, the insights drawn from Sylvester Stallone, an icon of resilience and perseverance. His documentary sneak peek highlights that true fulfillment stems from the quality of your relationships, not the quantity of your accolades. This mirrors our podcast discussion, urging you to measure life by the value you add, not by the years you tally.
Routine: The Silent Thief
Routine is comfortable, but it’s also the thief of time. It lulls you into a sense of false security, where days blend into years, and you're left wondering where the time went. Our podcast episode delves into this, encouraging you to punctuate the mundane with moments of extraordinary.
The Call to Action
- Break the Routine: Introduce new experiences into your life. Learn a language, pick up an instrument, start a side hustle.
- Add Value: At work, at home, in relationships — always leave people and places better than you found them.
- Live Intentionally: Make conscious choices that align with your values and passions. As Jose says, "live your years intentionally about the things that matter."
- Embrace Discomfort: Just as Lee Kemp overcame his discomfort at the barbershop, stepping into uncomfortable spaces can lead to growth.
- Be Present: Like Jose’s barbershop story, find joy in the ordinary moments. Make every haircut, every commute, every mundane task a moment to be alive in.
