She’s basically saying: we’re on a clock, even if we pretend we’re not. We don’t get an unlimited number of years, so it’s worth asking, “What am I actually doing with the ones I have?” A lot of us spend so much time worrying about what might happen someday – the worst-case scenarios, the what ifs, the imaginary disasters; that we forget to live what’s actually in front of us.
