For all of the people out there who think they have more time to do the things they want, I'm here to be a loving interruption. We are not guaranteed any more time than the breath we are taking in this very moment. Our lives could end at any minute -- so how are we choosing to live?

I recorded this 5 Min Friday almost 2 years ago, and it's become super popular since then.

So when my friends at Fearless Motivation asked if they could do an adaptation of one of my pieces, I knew this was a solid choice. They added some epic music, and it took the message to a whole new level.

The reason I'm re-posting it today is because the message is as relevant in this minute as it was when I first recorded it.

It's time in Episode 510.
