Do you know if you have tomorrow?

Hey Reader,

Whenever we make a plan, we think of tomorrow.
Do you actually know if you have a tomorrow?

I have done a lot of thinking on that the last few years.

Almost three years ago I lost my mom to cancer.
She didn’t get to 55 years of age.

We all hear the numbers.
The average lifespan is 80 years.
But that’s the world’s average.

My mom also thought it would be fine.
That she had time.
Until she didn’t.

I was there with her.
In those days when she became ready to leave here to go to a much better place.

It’s still a bit of a puzzle to me.
I believe that God is preparing people right in time to be ready.

We all fall into the trap of thinking that we have a someday.

It is a comforting idea that we have much of life left.

It’s prideful to expect that you will have another day.

You can’t plan with certainty for tomorrow.

You need to be more urgent using today.
Since tomorrow is not under your control.

I’m not saying to live today like your last or to go out and only have fun.

I’m saying: take ownership over your time.

Don’t waste the time you have today.

Every day you waste is one day you will never get back.

If you want to build a better future for your family, take action today.
Don’t wait for a better day.

Make sure you know what’s important today.

Don’t expect that you will do it someday.

When you know the ability to start today,
realize that you don’t have time for everything, but everything worthwhile is worth making time for.

Use your Today! Take Action!

Your Jowi

  • From 600 Emails to Clear Focus

    Monday mornings can be rough sometimes. We were gone for a longer weekend, and then I sat down on Monday morning trying to get back to work. When I opened my MacBook, I saw the stack of 600 unopened emails. Because I was gone, I also didn’t have a clear next step in mind. The lack of clarity got me overwhelmed. I knew I had to get back into the work. So I took a step back. What is the next task that matters most? I just get back to my routine. Let’s get started with my daily Newsletter. What…

  • The Productivity Lie I Believed for 5 Years

    For the last few years I’ve read so many productivity books. Watched tons of videos trying to figure out how can I get more done in my 24 hours than others. This is the core driver of productivity types: Getting more done with the time they have. It’s all about efficiency. There is one major flaw with productivity that took me 5 years to understand:It doesn’t matter how fast I run, if I’m running in the wrong direction. In the productivity space there is a lot of clutter about tactics that…

  • Make Friends, Not Funnels

    Dear Reader, After the term funnel was introduced by Russell Brunson, it became the way to build a business. We are all building a funnel. Many have tried to reinvent the wheel. They call it Flywheel or Cycle. In the end, the components are all the same. The steps are the same. One thing that gives me hiccups from all of it is:the transactional wording. We track the conversions, the click rates, and the card collectors. While those are all important numbers,we lose the human touch. I also…

  • Caught in the Hustle Trap?

    It doesn’t matter what I do. I start out well balanced. With my priorities defined. Over time I tend to lose it and dive too deep. I get caught by the Hustle Trap. With time I self-protect better and I don’t burn out as much as I used to. Somehow I know what not to do and then still fall for it. I’m so excited to do the work that I skip breaks that I should take. I sometimes end up thinking the amount I work is a badge of honor. This is the problem. It’s like the frog in the pot. He doesn’t…

  • Share the Scars, Not the Wounds

    When we often talk about authenticity, we often have different understandings of what that actually means. Over the last year, I have seen a trend come up. The trend has me worried. Authenticity is understood as showing all your emotion, being real in the moment. This does not build trust. It does not show a good manner. Every day has its ups and downs. Yet we don’t need to start with or share all that. There is another way to show your authenticity —that actually creates more trust and is…
