You Are Only King for a Day: Make Time Count Now

from Loosen Up Your Painting Podcast · host Malcolm Dewey

There comes a time in middle age when we may find ourselves looking backward with nostalgia and forward with worry. But while we are doing that, the present moment — the only time we truly have — is quietly slipping away. In this episode, “You Are Only King for a Day,” I reflect on the importance of taking action now. We look at how great musicians like Van Morrison and Pink Floyd created unforgettable music because they used their time well. They did not wait forever. They got on with the work. I also take a light-hearted look at ideas like the Mandela Effect and theories around CERN supposedly disturbing time itself. Whether time feels strange or not, one thing remains true: we cannot control the universe, but we can control what we do today. This episode is a reminder to stop waiting for perfect conditions. Start with what you have. Paint, write, create, learn, practice, connect, and make this day count. Because you are only king for a day.🎧 Listen to the full episode and let me know: What is one thing you are going to start today?Find more inspiration on my YouTube channel.
