There Is No Tomorrow


Howdy, Zack here.

There is no tomorrow.

There is no yesterday.

There is only today.

We plan for the future.

We reflect back to the past.

Yet, the most important moment is now.

It's easy to get caught up in thinking about the future or reminiscing about the past. I'm guilty of this, too. My wife, Gwen, and our kids will tell you so. They know how much I love seeing the old photos of 'when' scroll across the Apple TV. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as it doesn't overshadow the importance of the present moment.

On the way to our friend's local coffee shop this morning, I was reminded of how precious each day is. My close friend has just returned from a cancer clinic in Mexico. In the US, the system gave up on him, prescribing hospice and ready to pay out his life insurance, even though he's only 44 with two kids and a wife at home. Yet, the doctors in Mexico treated him like he was worth the time, money, and attention to save his life. After three weeks, his cancer hasn't grown, and he's shown improvements in a number of areas. There's hope for the future. And, believe me, he's cherishing each day with his family.

It shouldn't take things like cancer to wake us up. Yet, unfortunately, too many of us are asleep at the wheel.

We waste hours a day on social media, we eat poorly, and we don't take care of our bodies.

And we put off important things until tomorrow.


Are you ready to live in the present?

3 STEPS

  • Clean House
    It's tough to focus when your life is a mess. Clean it up, literally and figuratively.
  • Get Clear
    You can't do everything at once. Get clear on your priorities and put your attention where it matters most.
  • Take Action
    Start your day right. Get up, get ready, and put your time towards your top priorities.
Just remember:
This moment is what matters most. Use it wisely. 🙏

Howdy, Zack here. Stop it. Stop doing the things that aren't working for you. Sound too simple? Well, it's not. It's one of the hardest things to do. Yet, funny enough, once you've done it, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. You know what's not working for you. Ugh, lump in my throat. I have a few that come to mind right now. It might be eating too much, not working out, wasting time on social media, getting caught up in drama, focusing on big world issues (like politics), or pretty...

Howdy, Zack here. I love you. Yes, you. And, that love is not conditional. We all have our faults. I know when I've been at my worst, that I need others' love the most. Unless you've been living under a rock or you've intentionally disconnected (can't blame you), you've seen the effect of deliberate division — the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump. No matter your political beliefs, this sort of hatred has no place in our world. It stems from the polarization of our...

Howdy, Zack here. When will it be time? We often wait for that perfect 'when' — the moment everything falls into place. But what if 'when' is actually right now? As a dad of triplets on the brink of their senior year, time feels more precious than ever. Everything has been one-and-done for us. Before long, my wife, Gwen, and I will be seeing our 3 off to college. Thus, each moment matters more. Can you relate? When certain chapters come to an end, we tend to feel the gravity of our decisions...
