Act Now - Time Is Running Out!

Hey there, my friend!

Remember last week’s facts about our universe and how we can make use of quantum physics to literally bend reality in our favor?

I've been contemplating something and I need to share it with you.

It's about time, existence, and why we must act on our boldest dreams NOW otherwise it’s too late.

Let’s dive in.

We Are Already Forgotten (And That's Incredibly Liberating!)

Let me hit you with an uncomfortable fact: In just three generations – about 100 years – 99% of us will be completely forgotten.

I've been looking this up and here's what stunned me:

• Most of us can't name our great-great-grandparents

• By 2123, nearly everything we worry about today will be irrelevant

• Of the billions of humans who've lived before us, we know about less than 0.001%

So yeah - we/they/us/you and me are gonna be forgotten in no time.

If that is the case maybe it is time to really not give a f*ck about what other people think and go for it - whatever it is.

Even in natural history, boldness isn't just an option – it's nature's default strategy.

Not convinced?

Here are some facts:

• 98% of all species that ever existed are extinct. Yet life persists, adapts, evolves

• The first creatures that developed wings were probably failing at gliding countless times

• Early humans crossed vast oceans with primitive boats, having no idea what awaited them

• Even plants take bold risks, sending seeds flying into the unknown on mere wisps of wind

We're not just the descendants of survivors – we're the descendants of risk-takers.

The Biology of Bold Moves

Our very bodies are built for bold action. When we take risks:

• Our brains release dopamine, rewarding courage

• Our neural pathways strengthen, making the next bold move easier

• Our stress response system actually becomes more resilient

• Our telomeres (chromosomal markers of aging) can even lengthen when we live purposefully

We're literally wired to grow through challenge and risk-taking.

The Mathematics of Regret

here's what's fascinating:

• People regret inaction far more than action, even when both lead to negative outcomes

• The average person has 12 major life regrets by age 70

• 84% of elderly people regret not taking more risks in their youth

• Time spent hesitating compounds negatively, just like interest

Breaking Free from the Fear Loop

I've learned that our fear of judgment is just a evolutionary hangover from when social rejection meant death. But we're not cave people anymore. We're members of a global civilization with endless possibilities.

Our survival doesn't depend on fitting in – it depends on standing out.

The Bold Path Forward

So what do we do with all this cosmic perspective? Here's what I'm practicing:

• Taking bold action precisely when fear shows up

• Treating rejection as data, not disaster

• Viewing each day as a mini-rebellion against mediocrity

• Using the universe's timeline to right-size our worries

When I feel doubt creeping in, I remind myself: We're the descendants of star stuff and bold creatures. Playing it safe is the riskiest move we can make.

The Time is Always Now

Consider this: If we're going to be forgotten anyway, if Earth itself will eventually vanish into the sun's final embrace, why not make this brief flash of existence count?

We're not here to maintain the status quo.

We're here to push boundaries, chase dreams, and maybe, just maybe, leave a mark on the universe that sparks someone else's courage.

Time to Act: Your Bold Life Starts Now

Here's the raw truth I've learned:

Knowledge without action is just entertainment.

We're all fired up about our cosmic insignificance and infinite potential – great. But what are we going to do about it?

Right now, medical science is making incredible breakthroughs. We might live to 100, 120, who knows? But here's the brutal reality I want us to face: Today is still the youngest we'll ever be. Every heartbeat is one we'll never get back.

So let's turn this cosmic knowledge into earthly action.

Are You Ready?

Step 1: The Great Life Audit (Do This Today)

Try a simple but powerful exercise. Take out a piece of paper and answer these questions:

• What activities make you lose track of time?

• When was the last time you felt truly alive?

• What would you do if your bank account was always full?

• Which of your current activities would you continue if no one ever knew about them?

Be brutally honest. No one's watching.

Step 2: The Freedom Blueprint (This Week)

Look at where your time actually goes:

• Track every hour for one week

• Mark activities as either "soul-feeding" or "soul-draining"

• Calculate how many hours you're trading for money

• Identify your "golden hours" – when you feel most energized

Here's what shocked me when I did this: I was spending 50 hours a week helping someone else build their dream, while squeezing my passions into exhausted evenings.

Step 3: The Bold Exploration Phase (Next 30 Days)

Time to get uncomfortable:

• Try one new thing every week

• Talk to three people who are living your dream life

• Start a side project that excites you

• Kill one "should" from your life each week

Warning: Your primitive brain will fight this. It's programmed for safety, not fulfillment. Override it.

Step 4: Break Free from the Status Game

Most of what we call "goals" are just society's programming:

• The luxury car that sits in traffic like everyone else's

• The big house we're too busy working to enjoy

• The prestigious title that looks good on LinkedIn but feels empty inside

Let's get real: We're chasing status to impress people we don't even like, to maintain a position in a game we never chose to play.

Step 5: Find Your True North (60-Day Challenge)

Here's what I'm proposing:

• Spend 30 minutes each morning in complete silence

• Write down your thoughts without filtering

• Notice what excites you vs. what you think should excite you

• Start saying no to anything that doesn't align with your inner voice

Look for patterns. Your soul's been whispering all along – we've just been too busy to listen.

Step 6: The Bold Action Framework

When you find something that calls to you:

1. Take micro-bold actions daily:

   • Reach out to one person in that field

   • Learn one new skill related to your passion

   • Make one small investment in your dream

2. Build your freedom fund:

   • Calculate your monthly survival needs

   • Start storing "fuck you" money

   • Cut expenses that don't serve your dream

   • Focus on creating value, not trading time

3. Create your escape velocity:

   • Set a non-negotiable deadline

   • Share your plans with accountability partners

   • Burn the boats (carefully but decisively)

The Time Paradox

We aren't guaranteed tomorrow, yet we live as if we have forever. The universe took 13.8 billion years to create this moment, and we're spending it in meetings we hate?

Stats That Shook Me:

• The average person spends 90,000 hours at work in their lifetime

• 80% of people dislike their jobs

• Most regret on their deathbed is not having the courage to live true to themselves

• Only 3% of adults achieve their childhood dreams

But here's the flip side:

• It takes about 4-12 months to become proficient at a new skill

• Most successful businesses start as side projects

• The average millionaire has 7 different income streams

• The most fulfilled people rarely have the most prestigious jobs

The Bold Truth

We don't need more time – we need more courage.

We don't need more money – we need more meaning.

We don't need more status – we need more freedom.

Your Next Bold Move

Start now. Start messy. Start small.

But start.

Because while the universe might have billions of years left, we don't.

Our time is now. Our moment is here.

Final Push: Your Moment of Truth

Let me share something personal: Every time I've taken a bold move, every time I've chosen freedom over security, something incredible happened. The universe didn't just support my decision – it amplified it.

We're living in a time of unprecedented opportunity.

The digital age has torn down the walls between dreams and reality. The old rules of "pick a career and stick with it for 40 years" are dead.

The only question is:

Will we have the courage to seize this moment?

Remember:

• Every molecule in your body was forged in the heart of a star

• Your ancestors survived ice ages, predators, and countless challenges

• You are the result of billions of years of successful evolution

• The universe literally conspired to create you

And yet here we are, letting fear keep us small?

No more.

Because here's the truth: We can keep planning, keep preparing, keep waiting for the "perfect time"...

But the perfect time is a myth.

The only time is now.

Stephan
