Every time we look at the clock, we must learn to feel a sense of urgency. We must learn to realize that now is happening and will very soon be gone. We must look at the digits on the display and be overcome with an urge to do something before those digits change. Before now slips through our fingers. We must look at the ink on the calendar and see an immediate opportunity to do something wonderful, incredible, or beautiful.Its that simple. We need to change our thinking from when the number changes to before the number changes.
