Nothing Left in the Tank.

When your head hits the pillow at night, let there be nothing left in the tank. When I refer to an empty tank, I don’t mean exhaustion, emptiness, and nothingness. I mean a sense of satisfaction, completeness, and fulfillment.

I overthink a lot about life. I’m not trying to be depressing, but I think a lot about what’s gonna happen at the end of my life whenever God calls me home. I don’t want to die and have God show me the potential I had. I don’t want to regret the time I wasted on this Earth. I want to live every day to the fullest. I want to live every day so that when my head hits the pillow at night, I’ve given this life every ounce of energy, love, kindness, passion, and purpose that I have. I want there to be nothing left in the tank.

Naturally, I love to be busy. I fill my schedule with as much as possible so that I don’t have any wasted days.I’d rather spend my 18 hour days jam packed with everything from school to workouts to work to meals to parties to endless memories than laying around in bed all day. I’d rather live every day to the fullest so that every night I have nothing left in my tank and so that I have to literally sleep to recharge in order to do it again the next day.

I don’t want you to think an empty tank is pushing yourself past your limits. Instead it means you can go to bed satisfied and fulfilled because you’ve accomplished everything you possibly could within your day. Now I also know not every day is gonna be a productive one, and that’s okay too. We are human. We have good and bad days. But over the entire span of your life, don’t let yourself just go through the motions and live without meaning. Find your purpose and chase it. Run so fast towards your dreams and towards God, and when your head hits the pillow at night, you will be ready to rest, recharge, and do it all again tomorrow. Leave nothing left in the tank.

Xoxo,
