7.1e-9

The universe is about 14 billion years old.

Your life as a percentage of the universe’s existence is approximately 7.1e-9, or .0000000071%.

Life is short. In the grand scheme of things it represents a mere spec — if that — in time.

There is no time to waste. There’s barely any time at all.

So:

Be honest about what you want.

Be mindful of where you spend your time.

Do not settle.

Treat all matters of time and commitment with a critical mind and a sense of urgency …because the infinitesimally small collection of moments you call life will fly by.
