A motivational talk using the metaphor of the dash between birth and death to argue you should focus on what you control: learning, loving, doing new things, affecting others. The speaker contrasts shallow social media gestures with intentional action.
What are you going to do with the dash? You know we were born. The day we were born. We're going to die. On the day we die. No control over the day we're born. No control over the day we die. You have control over. What are we going to do with the dash? What are you going to do with your dash? You're going to learn something you didn't know before. You're going to love in ways you never loved before. You're going to do something the world has never seen before. What are you going to do? Your dash. You know what I want to do with my dash? I want to do what David said. Lord, teach me to number my days that I might apply my heart unto wisdom. I want to learn things that I do not know so I can go places that I could not go. So I can do things that I could not do. Affect people's lives that I could not affect before. What are you going to do with your dash? It blows my mind. Sometimes. People send Happy Birthday messages on Instagram. They don't want to call you. What are you going to do with your dash? And control the day you're born. You can't control the day you die. You can control what you do in the.
