If Life Feels Challenging, Read Sean O'Linn's Post

Today, I’m sharing a post written in August, 2024 by Sean O’Linn.

I’ve never met Sean, nor had I ever heard of him before yesterday. His name sailed into my consciousness upon waking, clear as a bell. I was curious—who is Sean O’Linn. Does he even exist?

This is the thing about paying attention to a random name, word, or thought that comes to mind. It’s likely going to be useful to me or someone else.

For me, it’s always a wrapped gift. There’s a bit of excitement, joy, and curiosity while trying to unwrap it.

Fortunately, the internet is helpful. So, once I searched, there it was, a person by the name of Sean O’Linn out of Jacksonville, Florida. His link took me to his Facebook page where I found his 2-year-old message which you can read below. He’s not famous. He has 24 followers. But his message is full of gold.

I hope his wisdom is helpful to someone today.

Remember, every day above ground is a blessing, and the probability of your existence outweighs any obstacle you may face. So, don’t let time slip away or waste your inherent potential. Your future self will undoubtedly be grateful for the strides you take today.”
