ESSENTIAL URGENCY

Written By Duane Nelson

2 IDEAS FROM ME

  1. Essential urgency starts with hollow-bones curiosity to understand our available time and then defines what’s most meaningful to do within it. 

  2. Why live each moment in harmony with life-calling and vision? Because one of these moments I will take my last breath and living each moment in harmony with life-calling and vision ensures I focus on the things that matter most.

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

  1. “Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.” —Steve Jobs

  2. “Carpe diem! Rejoice while alive; enjoy the day; live life to the fullest; make the most of what you have. It is later than you think.” —Horace
