What if the thing you're complaining about today… is the very thing someone else is praying for? This week, I’m sharing something personal—something I needed myself. This is about perspective. About understanding that your existence isn't some random accident. It’s the result of over 4,000 people—your ancestors—who endured hardships, made sacrifices, and showed courage… just so you could be here. That means something. And you owe it to them—and to yourself—to not waste this moment. I talk about what it means to honor your past and your future, even when you're in pain. Because pain is part of the path. It's not the end of your story—it's the middle. There’s a difference between pain and suffering. Pain is inevitable. Suffering? That’s a choice. My dad taught me that while he was fighting cancer. He chose to see one more dinner, one more golf game with his grandson—not suffering. That changed me. Time is the greatest blessing we’re given. I don’t care how old you are—right now is probably the youngest, healthiest you’ll ever be again. What are you doing with that? What are you building? Who are you loving? Are you going to get to the end of your life full of regret because you didn’t let yourself be happy? Or are you going to live a life true to YOU—not somebody else's script? You’re one decision away from a whole new life. One shift in mindset. One commitment to gratitude. One day where you tie a knot, hold on, and refuse to let go. Don’t let the enemy within stop you from realizing how far you’ve already come—and how much more is still waiting for you. Key Takeaways: You are the result of 4,094 ancestors—honor their legacy with your life. Time and health are your greatest blessings—don't take them for granted. Pain is real, but suffering is a choice—you’re stronger than you think. Regret often comes from not living your truth, not from failure. Everything you need to win is already inside you. This is your moment. Open the gift. Live like your life matters—because it absolutely does.   👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈   → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ←  ➡️ INSTAGRAM   ➡️FACEBOOK   ➡️ LINKEDIN   ➡️ X ➡️ WEBSITE    Learn more about your ad choices.
