5 Reasons Now Matters

Although time seems to fly, it never travels faster than one day at a time. Many opportunities occur so we can seize the day, the hour, and sometimes even the moment.

Life advances forward almost at the speed of light. Life altering (shattering) events take place in split seconds to affirm why every NOW matters.

1.     NOW is a non-renewable resource.
This moment is only guaranteed once. Once lived, it can only be revisited in your memories. The ability to choose what our mind focuses on resides within us. When we learn to exercise that control, we ensure that today is not stolen by an unalterable past or an indefinite future.
Now Matters because sometimes you do not have another second.

2. NOW is a gift.
It is a gift you have to work for. To create the life you dream of, action is required. You are the only person able to connect your dreams, goals and actions. A year from now, imagine what your life holds once you left fear behind, taken the risk and started today.
Now Matters more than any other time in your life.

3. NOW makes a difference in your life.
It is important for each of us to fulfill our potential we were given. In order all individuals to achieve this, each person needs to unwrap and use the gift they carry. As we allow our light to shine, we unconsciously give others permission to shine theirs.
Now Matters since what you do makes a difference.

4. NOW creates opportunity.
In an instant, something can happen and our lives change forever. When we step away from fear, after we calculate the risk, we discover how much more the world offers. We make the decision whether or not we will explore the possibilities and follow our dreams.
Now Matters so we live without regret

5. NOW is a ripple that can change the world.
The velocity and scale of transformation the world currently experiences is unprecedented. World leaders meet to discuss and prepare for a future of disruptive change as the international balance of power frays, and scientific and technological breakthroughs are poised to transform economies and societies. You hold the ability to change the world you live in – your life, your family, your community, your country. We may not all create waves; however, every ripple makes a difference.
Now Matters as our world stands at a crossroads.

The future depends on what you do today. Make now matter.
