Lesson 25: Life Is Too Brief to Waste

June 8, 2025 by Alex Rășcanu Leave a Comment

Hi,

You are significant.

Your life does matter.

The level of your life’s significance isn’t measured by its length, but by what you do with the time you’ve been given knowing that our choices carry both temporal and eternal weight.

Our lives are very brief; briefer than we tend to assume, and far too brief to waste.

In the face of this sobering truth, let’s resist the drift toward distraction, comfort, and aimlessness. Let’s seek wisdom and apply it daily in our lives.

​

Here are 3 action items you can take this coming week:

  1. Schedule unhurried time
    ​
    Make space for what matters most. Set aside time daily this week to be still, learn, and reflect on what matters now and for eternity.
  2. Reevaluate what you’re building
    ​
    Ask: What am I pouring my life into? Is it something that will last beyond this life or will it be of little consequence? Choose one area (e.g. work, family, service) and reflect on how it could more clearly be in sync with what truly matters.
  3. Serve someone with no expectation of return
    ​
    Use your time and energy to serve someone who can’t repay you. Write an encouraging message, help a neighbor, give generously to a cause, or volunteer your time.

​
Our lives are brief; far too brief to waste on shallow pursuits. Let’s live with focus, with joy, and with hearts set on what truly matters.

Thank you for taking the time to read my weekly e-newsletter. I appreciate it.

See you at one of the upcoming #ExperienceTO historical tours.

Until next time,
Alex Rășcanu
