– Make more memories
– Make them now
This reminds me of a powerful story from Bill Perkins’ book “Die With Zero.”
Fresh from a successful deal, Perkins decided to surprise his grandmother with a generous gift of $10.000.
In his mind, this was his way of sharing his success, of giving back to someone he loved.
But here’s the gut punch:
His grandmother couldn’t use the money.
Not wouldn’t.
Couldn’t.
The time for adventures had passed.
The opportunity for creating memories had slipped away.
All the money in the world couldn’t buy back the vitality of youth.
It hit him hard:
Money is just a tool for creating experiences.
Nothing more.
Nothing less.
Yet we often have this backwards:
We save our best wine for “someday”
We postpone adventures for “later”
We wait for the “perfect time”
Ask yourself:
– What memories are you postponing?
– What experiences are you banking for “someday”?
– Who are you waiting to spend time with?
Because here’s what I know:
The best investment you can make isn’t in stocks, real estate, or crypto.
It’s in memories.
With the people who matter.
While you still can.
You´re on a deadline.
Literally.
Because at the end of our days, we won’t wish we had more money in our account.
We’ll wish we had more memories in our heart.
What memory will you create today?
