Think about something you dreamed of doing five or ten years ago but didn’t work to do—and think about how good you’d be at that thing today if you had. Think about all the time you wasted and can never get back. Now project into the future and imagine you’re eighty years old, sitting in a rocker on your front porch, reflecting on your life, regretting that you never tried to do the things you wanted to do . . . and now you never will.
