Do you know if you have tomorrow?

ByJowi Witt

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

  • It All Comes Back to Communication

    ByJowi Witt

    Greetings Reader, Over the weekend I had a few chats with a friend on the effects of AI. We will be in for a ride. Sure the opportunities are endless. It will get stronger and better, but it also feels like we’re losing more and more the human touch. I’m trying to figure out how to talk about business without touching the subject of AI. The development is just so much faster than I anticipated. I’ve been in this space now since the launch of GPT 3,5. And it’s been a wild ride. I can promise…

  • The Three Models That Help You Move Fast

    ByJowi Witt

    Greetings Reader, Last night I spoke with a lot of Founders at a local event. There is one pattern that kept coming up. I’m planning this. I’m waiting on this. I haven’t gotten the feedback yet. All those statements are holding your business back. They will lock and keep you stuck, because you gave the power to act away. Over the past years I’ve tried to study the greed and there are three models that help you move fast. Urgency is the mover. Urgency means to just close the gap between…

  • The Fight Between Persuasion and Manipulation

    ByJowi Witt

    Greetings Reader, Recently I did a deep dive into the world of communication. There are generally two different skillsets to communication. One is the personal communication. Your journal to your dinner table conversation. When we enter the arena of public communications we have a lot of traditions. We have the historic school of the Orator – aka. Speaker. Over the centuries we have seen a specialization. The speaker was trained in propaganda. The Art of public persuasion. After the second…

  • The Hidden Truth Behind Consistency (not many know)

    ByJowi Witt

    The first advice people will hear is to be consistent. Post daily. Stick to your schedule. Be consistent. Most give this advice without giving you the understanding of why it matters. “When everybody is consistent, I’m not able to stand out.” That’s what I often hear as a response. “I need to focus on my quality, since everybody is focused on quantity.” This is also a false belief. Since you don’t even know what quantity is. So back to the advice to be consistent. Most people that try…

  • You Won’t Have Time “Someday”

    ByJowi Witt

    I’ve thought about this a lot. We often take our life and the time we have for granted. How often do I catch myself with a thought of:“Someday I’ll do this” or“When I have time, I’ll get to it.” Those are statements that make us feel good because we didn’t say no to it — and we still believe that we will get there. But the reality is: We don’t magically get more time. And we also don’t know how much time we have left in our life. My mom dreamed of retirement. Yet God has called her home by…
