One of the speakers at this years GO! Conference in colorado challenged us to live our lives in five minute blocks. Each five minutes that we have should be used to make an impact on this world.
It makes sense when it is put up against the way that we tend to live our lives these days. We tend to live our lives focused on these big goals to have money, a career, a "happy" family and in the end none of these things are going to make you happy. You will eventually end up 50 years old and wondering where the last 30 years went.
If we live in the here and now and instead of the then and there we will be able to see the value of our day to day life. The things that are considered boring and manatenis will turn into things that are evidentally life changing.
