A Reminder To Live For Today
I just found out late yesterday that Internet marketing pioneer Corey Rudl was killed in a racing crash in California. According to an article in the LA Times, a sports car club had rented the Fontana Speedway east of LA for a day of racing. Corey was a passenger in a Porsche Carrera GT whose driver lost control at over 100 mph, went into the infield and hit a barrier.Corey was just 34, and recently married. My heart goes out to his wife, his staff and his many close friends who I know are deeply affected by his loss.
Just about everyone doing on line business has been influenced by Corey. He was one of the very first to make money selling information, with a car book, and he produced a wide range of products to help others become successful. The list of internet successes that he influenced would fill a book. Some of his material is on my resource shelf, too.
At a time like this we are all called to stop and ponder for a minute how well we are using our time. We become aware that although we all plan to live forever, we have only this present moment to act in. Are we putting it to good use? Are we moving toward our dream, are we making the world a better place by serving others? Are we doing it NOW?
In Science of Getting Rich, Chapter 11 is titled "Acting in the Certain Way" and in it Wattles says, "Act now! There is never any time but now, and there never will be any time but now. If you are ever to begin to make ready for the reception of what you want, you must begin now."
It's easy to forget how wise these words are, and then something like Corey's untimely death happens to remind us. This is not to get morbid or fearful - it's just to remind us that the clock is ticking and we need to use our time wisely.
Goodby, Corey, and thanks for everything.
