Your Last Chance, the Power of Finite Moments, & Radical Candor

It is WayMaker Wednesday! Time to challenge your mind, reframe your perspective, and equip yourself for action.

The Question

What would you say or do today if you knew this moment was your last chance to make it count?

The Thought

You do not have endless years. You have a finite string of instances, fleeting and irreplaceable moments, before they are gone.

Consider how this reshapes your understanding of time:

You do not have 18 years with your kids.

You have 18 summers.

You do not have endless chances to speak the truth.

You have this conversation.

You do not have tomorrow to change course.

You have today.

Jesse Itzler taught us to stop counting years and start counting instances. From this we have learned that the greatest lives are built from moments seized with relentless intent. What precious moments are you allowing to slip by?

Put It Into Action

Radical Candor by Kim Scott

  • Why? It is the framework for direct, compassionate communication.
  • Reflect on a conversation you have been avoiding. What truth needs to be spoken?
  • Radical Candor is not about being harsh.
  • It is about being clear.
  • The best leaders do not let fear silence them.
  • They speak truth with courage and constructive care.

*Who in your life needs to hear this message?

Forward this email to them now, and help them seize their moment too.*

Forge Forward,
