Go ahead, do something impossible." -- Seth Godin
I recently read a great call-to-action article -- one that would make you stop and realize that you're going to die someday and there's precious little time to do what you're here to do.
But the truth is, most of us realize time is short.
Of course, we don't walk around with this knowledge at the forefront all the time, but there are quiet moments when this truly sinks in and we get it on a visceral level.
The problem, I think, is less that we're blind to the fact that we need to act fast, and is more related to the confusion about what the hell we're supposed to do.
