“You still have 40 years left…” — sounds comforting at first.

 “You still have 40 years left…” — sounds comforting at first.

But think about it this way:

You only have 40 more summers to feel the sun kiss your skin.

40 more autumns to watch the leaves turn golden.

40 more winters to feel the quiet stillness of cold air.

40 more springs to breathe in fresh blooms and new beginnings.

Or maybe not even that many. Maybe 10. Maybe 5.

Maybe… this is your last one.

We move through life like we have forever.

We put off dreams, passions, forgiveness, love — thinking there’s always “later.”

But what if later never comes?

What if today is the last time you smell your morning coffee?

The last chance to say, “I love you”?

This isn’t negativity.

It’s a reminder to wake up. To live fully.

Because today might be your only shot.

Don’t waste it.
