The days are long but the years are short.
Iâm in the top left with my sonâbut the bottom left with my dad.
The collision of timelines is hard to grasp.
New and Oldâbut all destined for the same fate.
When you love someone, tell them.

The opening scene of Up shared a similar message.

We spend most of our lives playing a game: Everything we do is in anticipation of a future.
When it comes, we just reset to the next one:
⢠âI canât wait until Iâm 18 so I can [X].â

⢠âI canât wait until Iâm 45 so I can [Z]."

There are no ârightâ answers here.
No one can tell you WHAT to think about time. Iâm just trying to provide insights on HOW to think about time.
All of life's most important journeys start with asking the right questions.
This is a good place to start.

Time has a dynamic qualityânot all time is created equal.
In Ancient Greece, there were two words for time:
⢠Chronos: Chronological, sequential time
⢠Kairos: Critical, opportune time
Kairos recognizes that certain moments carry outsized significance in our lives.

You never know when it will be the last time you see someone.
When you think something nice about someone, let them know.

Last summer I was on a walk with my newborn and an older man approached me.

Hit me hard.
