Day 326

Asim Akhtar,
Back


10:14 PM


I go to sleep


With the chance that I might not wake up tomorrow


God has granted me a gift


There have been many before me


And there may be many after me


But I must do the things I ought to do


I can't waste any chances


I have one shot


If I miss it


I won't get another one


Thank you for this opportunity


I hope to not disappoint



I also know that one day will be my last


I write these logs on the off chance that they might be useful to you


Who are you?


I don't know kid


I don't know



One day I'll have my last log entry


One day I'll die


And if you're reading this, you're still alive


Don't waste your chance



If I wasted mine,


Well


You'd only be reading this if I set out to do what should've been done a long while ago


That, or I messed up catastrophically somehow


Or maybe I'm still alive



You know, we have a cognitive bias to assume the entire world revolves around ourselves


We see from our eyes



I need to sleep


I hope I wake up enough times



Is this negative thinking?


Nah



I'm grateful for every second


Although I might not be grateful during every second


I know that I don't have enough time


Maybe you do


Maybe you've got more seconds than I have



Pick the highest thing you can possibly aim at


Then go higher


And higher


Then do it


Then aim higher


And don't stop


If not you, then who?


If not now, then when?
