Summary
Ever get the feeling life is passing you by?
You think, Where has the time gone? And the next thought that comes to your mind: Am I using this gift of a life well?
I’ve had that thought, too. And then one night, I wrote down a little promise to myself—a promise that’s since been shared millions of time on the internet. Maybe you’ve seen it: it’s a quote that says, “You know all those things you’ve always wanted to do? You should go do them.”
In this episode of the Cultivate Your Life podcast, we’re going to chat about the real story behind those words—and why they resonate so strongly with people, eight years later.
