You’re Creating the Urgency

Most of what feels urgent… isn’t. You’re choosing to treat it that way.

What do you mean you “have to take this”?
You don’t have to take anything.

There’s a text; you don’t have to reply.
There’s an email; you don’t have to open it.
Your phone is ringing; you don’t have to pick it up.

You’re creating the urgency.

You are in control of your life.
No one is forcing you to miss games or skip date nights.
You’re choosing that.

And if you’re telling yourself, “I’ll sacrifice this now so I can live later,”
you’re going to miss the whole thing.

You’re missing it now.

Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.

“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.” - Proverbs 27:1 (ESV)
