I'm going to ask you a very real and maybe slightly offense question. Ready for it?

What if it never happens?

That career that you're dreaming about. That marriage you're hoping for. The vacation you've had on your vision board for years. What if it never actually happens?

Hey, I warned you it was slightly offensive. And you're probably thinking, 'Jess, you're all about making things happen and taking control of your life. Now you're coming at me with this?'

Yes, I am.

Because I know what it feels like to be so enthralled with what will happen one day, that i have forgotten about what's right in front of me. I know you have big, wonderful dreams that are worthy of chasing. And I fully believe you should be chasing after them, but don't forget to live and enjoy the now.

What better time to talk about this as we went into the final four months of the year? Trust me, there are going to be a lot of thing to look forward to in the next few months. Just like there are a lot of things to look forward to in your life.

Please, don't miss out on now because you were so focused on what could or will be. We're not promised another second on this Earth. Don't waste it waiting to live later.
