A short motivational monologue (spoken by Nate Tilley) reflecting on the finite nature of life and the responsibility to use one's time fully. The speaker emphasizes urgency, self-accountability, leaving no doubt about having given one’s all, and the gap between current status and personal vision as a source of motivation.
I look at the value of this time that I have on this planet and understand that I don't get this time. Again, it's not a dress rehearsal. Like, this is it for me. A life that would be wasted is for me to come of age and to be like, I had more. Like, I had more in me. I could have done more. When you go to bed at night, the only person that you need to answer to is yourself. I always try to look through the lens of, like, is this all that you're capable of? Or is there a bigger game that you could be playing? And I know that, like, when they call my docket and I'm done, like, I want to make sure that I leave nothing up to question of, like, could I have given more? Could I have not made more of a mark on the people in my life? The level of where I am and the vision that I have of myself and what I am capable in my mind, and it's the delta in between those two that keeps me fired up.
