The Days of Your Life

Whether you are a cycling fan (as I am) or not, chances are you know Lance Armstrong. He is a cancer survivor and the seven-time winner of the Tour de France. I recently encountered a quote from Lance Armstrong that struck a chord with me. He said “Time is limited, so I better wake up every morning fresh and know that I have just one chance to live this particular day right, and to string my days together into a life of action, and purpose.”

I have no doubt that there is a special urgency to life for those who have faced death. It must give a complete understanding to just how quickly the time to compete our tasks can run out. I, however, do not wish to stare death in the face before I recognize the important my minutes. I hope you agree.

It is so easy as humans to think we have an unlimited window of opportunity to do the things in life we wish to do. Unfortunately, time waits for no one. I challenge you to recognize your one chance with today. Once you have mastered today’s accomplishments string your days together to create a direct path to your goal.
